fyi, you can "sign up" to the BBS and receive notifications about new 
messages just like the list server. you just need to check a box at the 
bottom of the page when you submit a post. the BBS is good because it has a 
nice archive format. the list is nice because it can be done just using 
e-mail. we have talked about merging the two, but decided there are more 
important things we should be working on.
