[sdiy] message board

As was said prior.
The randomness of this format makes you look into topics that you would not 
normally go after.
The density of the responses per topic creates a bandwagon effect and just 
enhances the community aspect of this format.

Web forums are bloated and slow. I would rather filter my own mail on my 
machine and be able to control things a little better
