  Access to higher speed connections--which give us access to a whole host of new developments on the Internet--is a *huge* issue out here...
   
  Perhaps rather than worrying about the forums we should use the organization to start a grassroots effort to compel companies like Verizon to give access to broadband/high speed internet connections. (I'm very aware of Verizon's strangle-hold on broadband in Mass--and how it's influenced the State House on the matter.  Lack of access to high-speed connections is a serious problem that has a serious and direct impact on economic development out here...)
   
  Not that having higher-speed access would get some of us to use the forums.  personally, I just don't like them and don't have time to check them.  I spend most of my time fielding emails, reading stuff in rss or from my google alerts and writing, so popping over to a forum isn't something that I have all that much time for.  Email's much, much easier for me--I can just delete what I don't want to read.
