I'd guess that he(?) is referring to BBSes; while they were before my time, I understand them to have largely been dial-up posting fora, and I can see the analogy to online forums as they have existed in the era of the Internet. That said, I could also see an argument that they're more similar to mailing lists than you might think, and even *more* similar to Usenet. (FAOD: I concur with those who think that Web-based fora are inferior to mailing lists for this type of discussion, and that this type of issue is more likely to be a transitory hiccup than a serious reason to consider abandoning mailing-list technology for the less-capable new hotness of a Web forum.) (This is the first message I've posted here since the problem began manifesting, and only the second this month. I will be interested to see whether, and if so at what point, the problem manifests for me as well.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
