<VV> Re: rejection and alternate archive

[Ian Harding]

Aren't there forums that will email you responses to threads you flag? That 
would be the best of both worlds. I don't always think about checking 
forums, but the occasional email to remind me about a thread I was 
interested in is a good reminder.

I agree that a forum is the more appropriate format for VV. I bet there are 
more people who are more vocal who disagree, though ;^)
