[mythtv-users] Spilt Myth mailing list?

[Tony Caduto]

I guess you have not seen how succesfull the forums are for Gentoo linux.
I am a very technical user, but I prefer a forum over a list, it's a pain in
the ass to setup the filters and all the messages take up disk space.
I move between PCs alot and I don't want to be setting up filters whereever
I go.

There are forums that have a list server built in, so user can use both.
One that comes to mind right away is yahoogroups.

The key is to use a product that satisfies both types of users.
