[Matt Lampiasi]

I've been sort of following this thread, but just saw this and can offer 
a couple comments. I visit a couple of renewable energy sites that have 
forums. One advantage forum software has over a list like ours here is 
that topics are broken out into separate discussions. i GO to the site 
if something relating to RE is on my mind, or I want to stay current 
(frequent). as many of you know, when i reply or start a topic i will 
hence get emails notifying me of the responses, so i can know i need to 
go back if i am interested in replies. It's just one reason i personally 
like forums, separate discussions yet they're all public IF i want to 
see them. for example if i see a forum post with the title "what do you 
think of vonage?" i know that i will not be opening that (just as a 
silly what if mind you).

OTOH- i pump all these msgs into a separate folder in tbird like others 
have mentioned, and i can sort that on subject as well, with a click. 
there is that manual weekly filtering process though :-).

and my other 2cents (I guess I'm at 4 now?): I would think a one time 
approval for members (however defined) would make "moderation" easier 
than the current msg by msg approach which surely slows down 
communication to a level that currently couldn't be used for anything 
urgent. Or even applying the same principal to this list might work 
better for the sake of conversational continuity? Granted there will be 
the occasional offer for viagra, the offender is removed. done. i mean 
unless theres a hidden tech company dealing in viagra, not that there's 
anything wrong with that.
