But the differences are in how/when they access, not so much the content
of the questions or answers. These guys seem to do a pretty good job at
running forums with gateways to existing mailling lists with threads
mostly staying together: http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/. I'm on
the backuppc mail list and don't see any difference if someone posts on
the forum instead.
