I fully agree with you here, Simon.

You're so right!!
I subscribe to lots of different groups - most of which are at yahoo - 
and it works like a charm to me.

Same here.

I guess I just will just not care to follow the discussions
on imatch-forums any more, due to this. I don't have the
time to check in an look through the different categories.
It is so much simpler to have all single mails popping into
my mail box while they occur, almost in real time.

I have registered my self at the new web-forums, but I must
say they are both clumsy and un-flexible to use. The daily-diggest
mails I have managed to receive just aren't real-time enough,
and the overview of what is discussed in the forums collapse
like a dirty babble.

But hey, who cares if I leave the imatch user forum?
Not me at least. IMatch gives me most of what I want regardless
of the online forum(s). Some of the branches in this thread
makes me beleieve I am better off anyway.
