I agree. One big advantage to the BEAM email list is that it is FREE. You
don't even have to pay for the internet to be a part (ever hear of Juno?).
All you need is a computer and a modem, and considering what kind of people
BEAMers usually are, most of us already have at least that.
Another big advantage to having ONE BEAM discussion medium (well, besides the
heretics but that's another side of the coin) is that we are all unified. I'm
having trouble putting this into words but I think you know what I mean.
Just my spare change
