Tina, I'm intrigued by your comment that forums seem mentally/emotionally more remote from your daily experience. I have always imagined that they may in fact be more intuitive rather than less because they feel (or are supposed to feel) more like a community shared space e.g.an office or a bar, but your comment turns that on its head. There certainly is an issue in that you have to 'go' to the forum, whereas email 'comes' to you, but what other intuitive experiences are in play in that relationship? I'd very much like to hear other peoples' experiences too. What mode of digital interaction feels most intuitive to you? sue
