Granted.  My point (as others have stated) was that the rules have to
strike a balance between realism and fun, leaving room for people to
tweak things in either direction.  But I acknowledge that "balance" is
another subjective term.  Which I think brings us back to the purpose of
Jon's poll: what do *most* people want to do.  ;-)

BTW, on the mail-vs-forums debate: the only advantage I see to forums is
that for people like me who get the digest option I frequently find
myself inadvertantly "me too"-ing to posts other people have already
answered.  With a forum, if I see in the digest that an interesting
conversation is going on I can go direct to the board to follow the
discussion in near-real-time.  But that's a small thing; if it really
bothered me, I could always go back to getting my mail direct.
