Amen... web-based forums is the wrong tool for the jobs of
disseminating information (multiple threads, etc). In addition to the
aforementioned crappy (and usually unique) interface, Most forums have a really
low SNR. Using a webpage with fancy graphics, frames, forms, logins, cookies,
and javascript is complete bullsh*t for conveying ASCII text from one person to
another. Quitcherbitchin', find a real email client, and sit back and learn
something.
