Except now we have another place to go and check stuff - another  
userid, etc.

I don't think I'll be participating in the forums. This isn't a knock  
against anyone that wants to go in this direction, but I rarely use  
the web for communications with other people and most of my workflow  
is built up around email and RSS. The last thing I need is another  
username, password and URL to remember.

Sorry guys, but this really doesn't work for me. If this is the  
direction that we're moving in, great - but I really don't think that  
I'll be able to play along if it is...

The easiest way to get a member only mailing list is to delete all the  
non-member subscribers from this mailing list. While I appreciate the  
energy that went into the forums, I really see it as a poor re- 
invention of the wheel.
