I have been on this forum lurking for many years with rarely posting.
To be honest, this does not work as a forum anyway, it is an email
list, it would be better structured as topics on a forum on a proper
website in my opinion.

Perhaps if there was structure, with column headings, topics etc,
things on here wouldn't get as fragmented.
