Re: New Board

Yeah I think I'm going to implement the auto email option.

I'll take a look at what gets posted on yahoo over a period of time
and estimate what the number of email messages will mean.

I don't think it'll be a problem.

Sorry about the name thing...its just that it conflicts with the
hosted site name.
