I am always against forums.  Exception when it is for a vendor's product 
and they have lots of separate forum based on user issues.

But forum means there is somewhere else I need to look to participate, 
or if it is low volume as here, to note that there is something I need 
to think about.

Also many forum software eat up processor resources and I watch my 
Firefox grow in memory consumption to the point I have to kill it and 
restart to get rid of all sorts of cruft.  Thunderbird by itself is bad 
enough.  ;)

So if you switch to forum, it is goodby.  Actually my mine use of, for 
IETF Jabber access, has gone away, so there is a real question if I 
really need pidgin at all now...

My opinion for what it is worth.
