It doesn't give the reader the option to choose if he wants this  
"enhanced" information or not.
This is the key, i can select just what i want to see and how i want to  
see it, down to the font and size of text. And i can have it exactly the  
same for all my mailgroups. I'm only in 5 or 6 mailgroups reading the  
posts, i would not be in 5 or 6 different forums with different procedures  
on how to do things.

If you want to add a picture here go to www.tinypic.com, upoad it, copy  
the URL into your post, and everyone can choose if he want's to load and  
see it or not. I bet that's faster for everyone, including the poster.

Anyway, i said i wouldn't post any more on this topic. I'm sorry but i for  
one won't be using it unless it works via mail the same as yahoo, and even  
then i'd prefer yahoo for various reasons. The other mailgroups _won't_  
change to a forum, so changing this one would only complicate things  
'cause i'd still have other groups on yahoo anyway. I bet it is the same  
for most members.
Best thing since sliced bread that mailgroup and people want to change it  
for some fancy new nonsense.....
