With the current reflector and modern reader, I can see the subject
and authors for 80 to 90 threads at a glance (no scrolling).  I can
also automatically filter the posts by subject or author. The posts
can be ordered by thread, time (ascending or descending), alphabetical
by subject or author and various combinations of the above.

The forum you recommend requires that I use a cumbersome interface
that I find backward and non-intuitive.  On my screen, I can see at
most 20 message classifications without scrolling or opening nested
window interfaces, all of which, when opened, display approx. 20
message headers, which when opened, display the actual messages.

I very much prefer the current reflector with my modern reader and its
single key stroke message reading to the limited, mouse based,
graphical interface.
