[ODE] Forum debate

[Alex Hetu]

Go ahead, make a forum if you wish, as long as it does not replace the
mailing list. There's nothing faster than a mailing list for searches or
even getting answers to problems or questions. Also, I'm sure there's an
option somewhere that allows you automatically move ODE mail to a
different folder than your inbox or something... 

Peace.
Alex
