I agree. VBulletin rules. It also permits voluntary participation rather than getting every email for ever conversation. Should you prefer to get everything via email, I believe it is possible to sync VBulletin with a mailing list. On 10/16/2012 5:18 PM, Yahav Gindi Bar wrote:

Is it just me or has this Property Accessors chain of emails been impossible to make heads or tails of? People replying within replies within replies, quoting partial emails, cross-posting and all sorts of chaos. Would anyone be willing to entertain an alternative "communication method" with specific respect to building/refining an RFC or fleshing out an idea? Heck, I think even live chat meeting over IRC would beat what's been going on... Not saying abandon the mailing list, it's crucial, but when there gets to be 150+ emails on one subject and numerous sub-subjects it just seems inefficient at best and chaos at its worst... I don't know of anything offhand that would work well but I'd be willing to try and find something we could try out. -Clint
