I am a frequenter at forums.debian.net and as nice as having a flashy looking forum is, I prefer to have all of my messages saved to my hard drive for archival purposes (I'm one of those people who hates throwing anything out). Oh, and I'm only saying this because I'm one of those "kids" you speak of. Seventeen here, it should be obvious anyway because my English isn't as good as most of the people on this mailing list (When I re-read my messages sometimes even I don't understand what I was trying to say)
