Peter,
This isn't a big issue but your email is a perfect example of the cumbersome management of
exchanges I am talking about. Because it was address to me it came to my inbox but not to the forum
as you didn't CC the forum (like Roger did).
Klaus likes to manage his email locally but for me I don't want to waste my disk space with this stuff. It
is always accessible online which, these days, is almost everywhere. Escaping my email is a bigger
problem than accessing it. Apart from that I don't have to worry about synchronising it or deleting stuff
I didn't want to.
On the PrintPlanet forum I have tracked down posts made ages ago just by looking up a topic. If I can't
rememeber the topic it's probably not worth remembering anyway!!
In this day and age many of us are UNcertified anal retentives and, for better or for worse, this has
turned the Internet into the world's largest repository of useless information. That's not to say that all
of this information is useless but duplicating it unecessarily on your local drive just seems like a waste
of time and resources to me.
Just a thought.
