I never visit any of the forums.
the problem with forums is:
- no textonly, so too much junk like html, colors, fonts and whatnot: this
means emphasis on appearance and not on content.
- there are more than one forums in all kinds of languages
so you see, there's people who like forums and people who like ML and it's one
of the holy wars like the vi vs emacs one, just like wobo said.
this is completely open, everyone is allowed to say their saying, there are
only a few rules.
i mean, if you _DO_ want to say your opinion, i think it's only normal to make
an effort for it. if you can't make the effort, then perhaps it's not as high
priority to yourself as you would like to believe.
and lastly, i am not fond of your wording choice: "modernizing" ? makes me
feel like an old dinosaur...
