Sorry for the "me too" email, but you guys need to know what we all
think.
I am against the move to web based forums because email is very easy and
flexible to consume and I haven't got time to specifically visit a
website to keep up-to-date with a mailing list which isn't core critical
to my business, whereas I have got time to browse through emails
whenever I have 5 spare minutes (often when I'm not online). I like the
fact that I have a local archive to search.
I have learned a lot about OpenSRS/Domain industry by reading the
mailing list - try as I might, I just will not follow the web forum to
the same extent, therefore I will be more out of touch. In short, I will
get less value out of my relationship with OpenSRS.
