I've yet to see a web based forum or message board that is as easy as

Precisely. Why don't message boards mimic the known efficiency of
Usenet on a local server, fer chrissake? They're all so bloody slow and
redundant. I haven't seen one yet where you could simply jump from one
message to the next without going back to the forum and looking at the
next subject, etc. Ghastly slow.

I wonder if some of the old Fido code is still around? That might do it.
