Not to sure what your on about? You mean the thing Gmail inline quote
gmail puts at the bottom of the page? I only see the last one, perhaps
Gmail adds them all and hides them from me? As I said this is the
first mailing list I have joined so my apologies.

Well I think this topic had changed from a "Can we have a Wolves LUG
forum" to a "Mailing List vs Forum" a long time ago but it's still
interesting for me to read others opinions.

I'm afraid my opinion wont be changed unless someone puts forward a
very good reason. The difference's between to two are fairly minimal
and I believe they both have pros's and cons so I don't think that
"very good reason" will exist for me.
