The advantage would be new technology such as rich text / html messaging.
The ability
to add an image or hyperlink. Receive notifications via email and post a
reply using

Mr. Cassell requested a feed cut for Mr. Richardson. Then Richardson sent
me an email
telling me pretty much to stick the bbs up my ass!

Each web bbs conference can have it's elisted moderator to set rules and

Just an experiment, might work out, and might not. If Tom Jennings didn't
try his
idea out none of us would be here today.
