Personally, I don't like BBSes, because the messages only exist on the
server. I prefer mailing lists, because I can then save a message for future
reference on my own machine by simply not deleting it. Also, the traffic is
fed at me--the various BBSes I'm subscribed to I rarely visit unless I have
some particular question of my own, so I never contribute answers to them.
I'm sticking to the mailing list.
