[Fmpro] how about a message board like unicornation.com?

[Eric Goetz]

Matt, here's an idea: Create a gmail account that you only use to read this
list.  Never delete any mails in it.  Then, we you feel like posting and/or
read this list, you can log into that gmail account.  gmail's search works
great, so then you have an instantly-searchable forum!

Or convince Mark to switch the list to google groups.

Cheers,
Eric
