Hi All, if someone were willing, it would easily be possible to take
advantage of the strengths of both List and Forum. To do this a moderator
would simply keep the list in its current form but sort the older and
archive material in to topics. The major difficulty that springs to mind is
that many posts would be able to be categorised in a plethora of ways.
There does seem to be a great deal of new technology and new programmes that
could be if there were a more relaxed attitude.
