See that's what I don't get how does a forum help with this?  Instead of 
382 emails routed to my MythTV-Users folder and presented to me in a 
threaded fashion I would what?  Visit http://www.someforum.com/ and wait 
for a page load for every topic and see 382 web messages instead?

What benefit is there beyond making people with shitty mail clients feel 
better?
