If you find it difficult to compose messages in an edit box on the web, why don't you compose the posting in your favourite text editor, and then cut-and-paste it into the forum?I don't want to go into details publicly here, because it will seem like a mere whinge.
I'll bitch for you despite the fact I don't cmima the BPFK:Although the sending by email of each new post is neat, I find it altogether too much hastle to have to dial up my isp, login to the forum, find where I want to put my post, write it out (something I'd like to do offline so that I don't spend any money) and then dial up again to repeat the whole messy process. It's difficult enough finding the willpower to participate without adding complication.
I also realise that the importance of having a forum is that we need to be forced to read all the old postings before we put ours up, and also that everything has to be put in the right place.
