Hi Brian,

I know email works well for us; some people feel comfortable with email,
while others like forums better (with icons, smiley, attachments etc).
It all depends on the user.

The point of view of diluting a team was not what I had in mind. I would
understand if we only had 20 users, but the Ubuntu Canada community is
close to 140 registered users, not that all of them read/post on this
mailing list. In my mind having a subforum for the Canada Team simply
opens up another possible method to communicate and meet other local
users. In the end, it's the team leads decision, and just a small request.
