This is a list, that's a forum. A forum sits where it is and people come by
and post or read, and it can have permanent parts like the library at
www.unschooling.com.
A forum is a website.
A list arrives by e-mail. Only people on the list see the list.
Yahoogroups kinda blurs that line by giving us a place to leave photos and
files, and having an archive. But e-mail lists (even with jazzy "home
pages") aren't the same as the-plural-of-forum.
To some people it doesn't matter. <g>
To me it does. I don't know why.
