----- Original Message ----- > The difference is very simple: with forums, you, the reader, have to go to > the > messages. With mailing lists, the messages come to you. If this is the difference, then this list offers the best of both worlds - You can either subscribe to the list and get the e-mails, or else go to http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php and read the archives (but you must then disable mail delivery in the options section). Forum or mail list - your choice. If something is not broken, don't fix it. And thanks Mary-Sue, Nhu, and the others for your time and effort that goes into this list and the wiki. Christiaan
