Product Description
WEB FORUM ON TRADING?
Editor,
I’m a longtime subscriber to your magazine
and enjoy it very much, including
especially the reviews of products.
There is a related need that your Web
site could meet while it would be impractical
for a periodical. The product
reviews in the magazine are good for
an overall view of a product but can-not
shine a light on many users’ everyday
experiences with the product,
including those annoying or efficiency-
wasting implementation issues
related to usage and configurations,
and intangibles such as ease of living
with a product and enthusiasm and
depth of support options.
However, a forum on your Web site
could provide information of this
sort. Such a forum would benefit
you, since I’m sure the discussions
would generate ideas for editorial
content for the magazine. It would
also benefit readers, who could swap
information and war stories to help
make decisions about products. Finally,
it would benefit product vendors,
who could get feedback from
users by monitoring the discussion,
if they wished to do so.
Please give this idea some consideration.

This idea has been under discussion
here for several months. We
hope to start a discussion forum
about investing techniques and
related products sometime in the
future.
In the interim, you may want to
look at news:misc.invest.technical
with a news-enabled Internet browser,
or misc.invest.technical with a news
reader or online service.—Publisher
