paleonet Paleonet list/newsgroup versus Paleonet forum



The question is not  "which sort of ms do I want to read?" nor "shall we keep on getting ms about evolution vs. creationism?" ...
Regarding the first question, I fully support Jere H. Lipps's Opinion, that is "(...) the talk about vertebrates, most inverts, email requests, equipment, etc, not what I want to read either.  But it is all part of being a community."
Regarding the 2nd question, I just wonder whether an issue generating more than 20 ms weekly is well suited for a Newsgroup/List (that should have been the original question!) or if it deserves a dedicated Forum (taht is a possible answer!) ... 
In my opinion, the discussion about "evolution vs. creationism" is generating too many ms to be part of a Newsgroup/List! There are many tools / facilities (PHP, Perl, ASP, ... some are eventually available as freewares) to build such a Forum ... I believe your IT (Information Technology) people can help you to build it!
Any volunteer?
