One of the fundamental problems with a web forum is that everyone is
forced to read the discussion the way the software author intended.
Personally I think SquirrelMail is a horrible email client, but I'm not
trying to stop you from using it if that's what you want to do.

I can't stop you from proceeding with this destructive course. I can and
will say that I will not use any proposed forum unless it is also
accessible by SMTP or NNTP. (No forum author offers this capability;
pretty user icons are clearly much more important than interoperability.
Most of them are too busy reinventing NNTP and making the same mistakes
that were made twenty or thirty years ago.)
