I like the idea of a forum. A forum is a much more organized idea and a moderator to remove uneeded profanity. A mailing list is good too and works much the same way a forum does today but I still think nothing beats a good forum with moderation. It seems to me that the majority of the posters against the forum where just profane and had no logical reason for disliking the forum. That in fact add to my likes for a forum. You can also edit what you typed in a good forum and try to make better before someone reads it. But if the authors are so against it I'm not gonna tell them what to do. I'm sure they could find a few that feel obligated to help and who they trust that could take the job of moderation if they asked.
