Re: [microsound] why not start a forum?

i'm also much more inclined to easily and quickly reply to an email  
without even having to reach for the mouse.
i dig forums for some things, but can't get into the social aspect of  
them. the intimacy of a limited set of subscribers on a mailing list  
is much more interesting for me.
