ah, how quickly the young kids forget. ;)
gerry skerbitz started the vanagon list because the original .net
format was so slow ... like a web-based forum, in fact.

it's been a pretty good tool for a lot of years now. which is not to
say that web-based stuff isn't useful ... just not quite as
"responsive" sometimes.

caveat - me? i'm old. and set in my ways. don't even have a cell
phone. ;)
