I feel like a real heel saying this to someone who's obviously putting a
lot of good and generous work into this.  But...

...Web-based discussion forums don't work for serious discussion.  And I
suspect you'll find that practically all technical users presently
involved with OSI will say "No thanks."

I hope we've spoken enough in other contexts that you won't take
offence, Steve.  None is intended.

Now, a local newsserver using leafnode 2.0beta would be very useful.
Perhaps some here will recall Nick Petreley's late lamented
forum.linuxworld.com machine (which ran using INN, which is overkill).
