[Wolves] Badly in need of a forum?

[mad-malc at tiscali.co.uk]

Another point about using a forum is you don't have to keep repeating yourself
as it appears that one email will generate several/many responses which if
you are polite you ought to endeavour to answer which of course generates
more repetition and further burging inboxes.
