That was the plan, but the forum and/or mailing list experts were not sure how soon it would be 
feasible.  And I'm not sure how a single mailing list like users would be able to handle postings 
to and from a subdivision like, say, the Calc section of the forum, let alone Joe Doe's thread in 
the Calc forum on how to format a date cell.  However, the mailing list can, of course, thread 
messages, so it shouldn't be impossible.
