REFLECTOR: Was Brakes -> Now Forum

Sat May 12 10:41:21 CDT 2012

Hi Chris,
A forum can instantly pump all posts to any topic thread started directly
to your email if you toggle that function on your account. Or you can
choose which conversations you want to be included in: If your an XLFG you
could opt out of a discussion (directly to your email) on an RG gear
discuss -if you choose to-.
You would lose nothing IMHO if we went to a forum. With an Iphone forum app
would would be able to give and go in conversations all day long if you
chose.
