How many seconds (minutes) did you peek at the APUG forum?
And you decided that there is no advantages so quickly
from such a modern day forum over old style Vanagon list?

I think you will have to judge by yourself if such a modern
forum offers more features and advantages. I can not judge
that for you in any way. BTW, perhaps you missed it. APUG
has a fantastic search mechanism built-in. But you have to
login to use it. It searches, subject titles, authors, and
entire text messages. Gerry only allows you to search within
the subject and email address of the author. No you do not
go through thread after thread to search for something.
