Hope I'm not alone - but I much prefer to have emails arrive in my inbox!
We put up an on line discussion on our wensite and not one person
contributed - then we changed to an email discussion list and it got going!
I find receiving emails for a discussion alters me to anything that's of
interest and I only need to reply to those thatare of personal interest. I
hope you won't drop this as I'm not sure that I'd remember to go into an
online discussion very often.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: Drawing as Language.
Hi All,
I've been monitoring this discussion over the past few
days and would just like to take this opportunity to
plug www.drawing-board.org.uk
Posting this topic and subsequent replies would
produce a permanent record of this discussion and
prevent inbox congestion.
When posting on the drawing board you can flag email
when responded to, so that if you don't want to keep
checking the drawing board to see if someone has
responded to a post it'll email you when someone does.
The permanent record would prove useful in terms of
maintaining a sense of continuity in discussion that
others may benefit from
Shameless, but altruistic
Mark.
