--part1_172.1e62cf15.2c696ad1_boundary 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 HREF="http://www.darkbasicpro.com/apollo/forums.php">http://www.darkbasicpro.com/apollo/forums.php</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?
