[ale] ALE forum ?

[Ron Frazier]

Hi Doug,

That would be a problem for me.

I don't have a Google account. I don't want them tracking everything I 
do. Also, I do not allow Google sites to use scripting in my browser, 
since user generated content can create a risk of virus / trojan attack. 
I simply don't allow scripting on sites where I cannot trust all the 
content.

Even if that weren't the case, if the forum sends you an email stating 
that there is a new message, instead of sending you the new message, 
which some do, that definitely wouldn't work.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
