Well, no offense, but I much prefer the email list type service like
this to any web based. The messages show up in my mail program,
steered to a Nature Sound folder, and I browse and erase them quickly.

I have yet to find a web based forum layout that wasn't a pain to
'browse' and try to constantly figure out what I have read and
haven't. DELETE makes this mighty easy. If it's not in the inbox,
I've probably read or discarded it, and never have to see it again.

You are of course free to start up your own Foghorn Nature Group,
using any web based forum software of your choosing :)
