OK, thanks, I do know about both of those though I hadn't realised
there was a mailing list at Web Design.

I find forums very difficult to use in general for a number of reasons:-

    I have to visit them individually, it's not practical for the
    number of subjects I'm interested in. I belong to 77 lists just
    now, a similar number of forums would be totally unmanageable.

    I can't use a decent editor (or my choice) to write and reply to
    messages.

    The threading is often rather poor (though some are better than
    others).
