You can get this for free on Delphi Internet Services right now. Set up your
very own Internet forum with threaded message boards, etc. To see an example,
take a look at my "Astronomy & Physics" forum: visit
http://www.clockwk.com/astrophysics for instructions. This sort of thing will
probably replace listservs like MAPS-L, but not in the very near future. Using
such web-based forums requires every user to have a recent version of their
web browser software installed. That can be a problem for some people. In a
year or so, it may be interesting to switch MAPS-L to a forum style of
discussion.
