Adam,
>>OTOH in recent months the traffic on this list has consisted most of
Paul's announcements, responses to those announcements, and for-sale
postings. Maybe a web forum would serve just as well as a list for
this sort of traffic, which isn't as much a discussion as a series of
monologues.<<
That's right. This list is somewhat dead, however that's one reason why it
doesn't make a lot of sense to have a full fledged hierarchical forum.
Those kinds of forums are usually only good when there are huge numbers of
threads and super high traffic. For the tiny trickle of posts from this
list, a mailing list is way better. And Yahoogroups is a hierarchical forum
anyway if you choose not to get email and just go to the forum. That's how
I use it for synthesizers.com and everything else. There's way too much
pointless talk on those other yahoogroups forums that I don't want to sift
through daily in my mail, so every couple of months if I randomly think
about it, I'll just pop over and see what's being talked about.
