Re: [dq-rules] New DQrules Weblog

I'm with you!
I definitely prefer e-mail, as opposed to having to go find what I want via a web page. If there doesn't seem to be an alternative, I have several webhosts that include mail list software. One of my hosted domain names is fairly appropriate, Fantasist.Net. Honestly, my web page there is fairly lame, but I'd be happy to host an e-mail list for DQ. (No, not for the advertising, just the love of the game!) 

Just food for thought!
Thanks,
Jim

I'd appreciate it if those of you who check it out let me know what your experience is like. Is it easy to find and use right away, or do you find it awkward to use? Do you think this is a better format than the present Yahoo Groups format? 



Without even looking at it, I can suggest that any web-based discussion
group is inherently less convenient than any e-mail-based one.  It's a messy
process to read a web page offline.  It's inconvenient to save useful
tidbits.  Most web-based groups have poor thread-management capabilities.

All that being said, I acknowledge that for some people a web page is
actually *more* convenient.  I'm not one of those people.

If Yahoo is really a problem, might I suggest you investigate other mailing
list options before abandoning a mailing list altogether?
