I have enough things to do, that I can read my e-mail

        -  without actually being online (by connecting, pulling my mail,
           and closing the connection)

        -  without having to open a browser, that I wouldn't be opening
           anyways (possible exception being the occasional url reference
           to go follow).

more over, I find that I can archive and search e-mail much better that most web
based forums.

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time.  You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
