First, I don't give a rat's ass if someone wants to set up a forum as 
long as the mailing list stays intact, because that's the way I prefer 
to read it. I just don't have an opinion about the forum. Second, I can 
count on one hand the number of people who have mentioned wanting a 
forum. To me that doesn't qualify as 'most', but maybe I need to go back 
to school. Third, as someone has already mentioned, you can do what you 
are trying to do with the "Gossamer Threads Forum" here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/Users_F11 In addition 
to that if you follow the list info link at the bottom of every message 
that comes through the list and then go to the archive, there is another 
means of listing all the messages by date, thread, etc.
