I don't know if this is even possible but this idea occured to me the other day so I thought I would throw it out there. Ya know how we get email alerts to posts here. Well what if we could simply reply to that email and the response would hit the forums as a post. I say this because my blackberry is constantly going off with alerts from here but alot of times I am no where near a computer to respond and for some reason I can't log onto the forums with my blackberry. I am just thinking that something like this would increase activity on the forums tremendously as people can easily respond to stuff directed at them without having to be infront of a computer. SO basicly if you can get your email you would be able to contribute.

Nice idea - The Wine dev's have something like this in place over at WineHQ:  You can respond to posts on the message board or via the mailing list and they synchronize.

People read the stupidest things.  Like this sig, for instance.
