Re: AGA Forums (fwd)

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Well, I've stayed out of the conversation because I'm not fond of forums
either.  They are way too time consuming.  Give me a mailing list that you
can just skim through and delete any day.  But as you said, Erik, I didn't
want my bias to influence things unduly either.  It's definitely true that
some people like them.

I guess I'd kind of like to hear what the other forum owners thought... No
sense ticking them off if they are supportive of AGA stuff currently.
