[Healeys] Why not a message board?

[Alan Seigrist]

One thing for sure, the BCF is useful but overall I get substantially
better technical help from the List.  There is less useless spew on
the List but then again the amount of "test" emails on the list is a
bit much.  Search on the List for me is much better.
