Re: [APML] APML on a Forum

[Emmanuele Sordini <vega@bloomingstars.com>]

My 2 cents: I don't see anything wrong with adding a web forum support, 
provided that nothing changes for those (including myself) who'd like to 
continue using the vanilla mailing list version. I too have access only to 
a lousy 56K modem connection (despite living downtown a 600000-population 
city), and have a time-based fee.

As for the list focus, well I wouldn't change anything either, including 
occasional CCD diversions (i.e. image processing tricks), which may benefit 
film users as well. If CCD's are to take over film, so be it, but let 
things happen just by themselves.

On the other hand, I would rearrange the archives so as to mangle the 
members' e-mail addresses, because this spamming thing is getting a real 
pain the butt. :-))
