My PC is a laptop which travels with me most times, so I often download my mail at a convenient time and read through it later when I'm often away from any net connection. I can then respond at my leisure and when I connect at a later time all messages are sent. This is why you'll often get multiple messages from me at 3am. And why sometimes the question I'm replying to has already been fully discussed and answered.There are also others that receive their e-mail at work where they may not have internet access. As Charlie mentioned there are still users on dial-up connections. There are still many rural areas where that is the only option. I've only had ADSL in my area for a year. Dial-up doesn't preclude the use of web forums, but it sure does lose some of the advantages. I'm not saying that we have to stop progress for those few that can't keep up, but I thought I'd mention a few advantages of the current format. Todd (happy to be top posting HTML on an e-mail list) it's time to move on to a new format. I just can't see any disadvantage to doing that, though I expect that some folks will resist change. I for one am ready to make a change, and have made the official first post in the new forum. I even found "my" icon there :-) Thanks for making this an option John.
