> Empeg folks are going to post wherever the users are.
I'm certainly not going to post to the BBS mailing list, as the data will be lost to the majority of users who use the web interface. I also hope that users of that gateway understand that anything they post to it will not be seen by anyone at empeg (as far as I know - I don't think anyone here uses it).
I am subscribed to the original mailing list, and have been since it started. There's practically no traffic on it now, but if an enquiry came up on there I would respond, even if it was just a reference to something that's already been covered on here.
My personal taste is to use the web interface - it's nice to get away from Outlook now and again. I've stated before that I have a problem with the gateway if it cannot insert posts back into the relevent threads, as I find that a little antisocial, but there are worse sins in the world I'm sure.
It has occured that it would be relatively simply to write a script to divert mailing list posts back into the BBS, if the digest includes the board and thread numbers. If it doesn't, well, that's less simple :-)
