Re: [PLUG] UPDATE: Linux Business Forum

["W. Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

I'm not opposed to keeping this discussion on PLUG. However, I would 
like an easier way of filtering and threading the discussions for future 
reference. I do this now on my mail client - but if someone were to join 
the discussion a month from now - I think they would have a difficult 
time reviewing the old posts, especially with the mix of highly 
technical information posted here.

I can expect that some of the people interested in this forum would be 
business people more than they are technical (maybe they have technical 
staff). I think it may be difficult to get good participation from them 
in the PLUG format. I'm not saying there is anything wrong wih PLUG or 
this format - it's just not for everyone.

However, I haven't had much interest in the forum @ acetechgroup.com 
either. So it's likely that these discussion will remain here for now 
anyway.
