I'd give you 40 technical reasons why forums are not nearly as productive as lists, but I cant be asked really.
Common thread to all of this, is that we are all individuals with different work flows that work better for us. What puzzles me, is why people are so religiously fanatical and disrespectful of the views of others, preferring to chastise and even go as far as you have here, to call her view and choice to be here, regardless of her preference, as a waste of her time.
Doug, if you reread my post you will notice that I am not fanatical about any single form of communication and quite openly acknowledged the work done by other people in other communication venues. All you are doig is re-iterating my point : different people have different needs and uses. Some are here on the list since thats what works for them and the lists come with some guidelines. We ( the CentOS Project ) expect users in these lists to make an effort to adhere to these rules and guidelines.
I see nothing unreasable in that whatsoever. Anyway, as has already been said quite a few times - if the lists dont work for you, leave. Subscription info is included in each email sent from the list.
