When I need to do something more elaborate, like search an old message or change my settings, I use the browser interface. See Forum Decorum . And finally, a number of the ZNet Commentary writers host forums of their own to discuss their commentaries, answer questions about general matters, etc. Those participating include Chomsky, Zinn, Ehrenreich, Albert, Bernard, Wise, Shalom, Cagan, Hahnel, Dominick, Peters, Shah, Carter, Bronski, Mokhiber and Weissman, Gonsalves, and Bohmer. Each forum has a set of threaded discussions , the right hand column of forums are all hosted by commentary writers.
Any user can post or read accumulated messages or reply to any message in any forum at any time.
