Hi

I've just written this in the topica web entry, wouldn't take it, so I'm 
doing it again. Sorry, but another reason for changing.

While I am sure that Topica's mail list has done an excellent job, I feel it 
would be a good time to move to a forum style of communication, eg

<A

<A HREF="http://www.blitzbasic.com/">http://www.blitzbasic.com/</A>
<A HREF="http://coderforums.com/">http://coderforums.com/</A>

There is an awful lot of stuff piped at me, and I have difficulty sorting the 
stuff I'm interested in from the stuff I'm not. And there is an awful lot of 
useful stuff!

The forum style would allow setting threads into subjects which you could 
follow (eg announcements, linux, win32, database, general etc etc). Most forums 
allow mailing of threads to readers, and allow searching.

There are probably many reasons why the format hasn't changed, but please 
don't let it be for a (in a yorkshire accent) "We don't like change do we 
Diedre?" attitude.

I realise this would require a change at the top, so how about it Rob?

Chris
