I use web based forums a lot in historical information gathering, the cobalt forums in particular, and I can understand the desire to have that as an end result to this support list. BUT... When we first started our wireless ISP, I was delegated the task of investigating and setting up the billing/provisioning system for our company. We looked at many possibilities... some (most) more expensive than Optigold, but in the end, what really sold everyone on Optigold was this support list. This community's rapid communication has been a vital resource for me. When I demonstrated to our owner and project consultant that I could get an answer to a question/problem in 8 minutes, they were sold on Optigold no matter what the price. Granted, that hasn't happened for me lately, maybe I'm asking more difficult questions, but I fear the interactivity will suffer with a web based system. I have my e-mail client open all day. When I see a question on this list I can answer, I do, and I hope I have been helpful when I have. Everyone that has answered when I call has been helpful to me and I appreciate that more than I can say. I don't have a web browser open much at all during the day. I guess mine is a vote against the web based forum... unless it can send me the posting via e-mail and accept my replies in a similar fashion.
