Hi Mich,

Echo your sentiments absolutely about access to sharechat via EMail.
This is also the real plus for me.

But nobody took me up on my challenge to discuss some of the "penny
dreadfuls" This is a little disappointing.
Cheers,
John

The way that I can subscribe to sharechat and read messages in my
email
rather than on the internet using my web browser is a real plus for
sharechat over the other channel for me.  I never bother with the other
one.
There tends to be a lot more clear-headed comment here and a lot more
overly
enthusiastic and unrealistic postings on the other channel in my
opinion.
Michael
