@Boris. I'm not sure that "being online" is a narrow use case... @all: I don't want this to degenerate into an argument. That doesn't mean I'm not going to question people's existing structures and beliefs about what works and what doesn't though. Tab, very kindly, has illustrated a bunch of aspects that are relevant and well put that someone not familiar with the www-style list and w3c process couldn't know about. The facts remain that _new users_ are not going to find the existing methods of engaging with www-style simple, intuative, or easy to get into. Forums are one way of fixing that. As Tab suggests, there may well be others. My main bug-bear is that I don't want to have to rely on the functionality offered by an email client because that ties me to one machine, one client, at one location. I imagine it does for a lot of people. Much like the web we're trying to build for everyone: I think priority should go to ease of access and interoperability. Mail doesn't have that. Certainly not how it's set up now. Forums do, by their nature.
