Mike - List,
I too would vote on message board, but we have to think of the bigger picture
here.
Everybody on the list. As for the cost of the board, I already have the software
which is the same board you have shown us Mike. Moderators, we can survive with
or
without them, that is not an issue. Flame wars: they even happen on email lists
as
this.
