I'm going to jump into this fray here and now.

I'm going to explicitly forbid Marc's list from copying any of my posts from this moment further. The body of my posts is copyrighted by me, and by and large I don't care what happens to it, but I think screen-scraping the web forums to feed a mailing list is ass-backwards, and I won't allow my content to be a part of it.

There already exist two different forums, depending on your tastes. There is the Empeg BBS (web-based, right here), and there is an empeg mailing list ([email protected]). Whichever "mode" of getting data suits your fancy, the method already exists to do it.

If its a matter of "wanting to keep up with what's on the web forum without the hassle of the web forum", there is the ability to have the BBS e-mail you, daily, digests of whichever boards you are interested in. Just edit your profile, and its right there (always has been).

There is absolutely no reason to divide the users of the web forum in this manner. Keep the posts, and the replies, on the board where they belong.
