Re: free topic software

I have used this bulletin board software on many sites and find it
pretty esay to navigate, read msgs.  It is robust and mature, and sports
many customizable points.  i wouldn't mind something like this that
would be attached to each head line... so as to get another avenue of
feedback and involvement.
