The only drawback I see is that you are posting sort of blind.
You will see the post that caused the email, but you will have to look at every other email to really get a sense of where the thread is going.
I sort of like to read all the responses before making any comment.
But, come to think of it, it might come in handy if you find yourself in a position to receive emails but cannot access the OGR site directly. I guess some office computers block external sites.
Now those guys can still post even though the forum site is blocked.
Thanks, Dennis. Mystery solved!
