Yep. This isn't the greatest forum script in the world -- it's definitely plain vanilla. But if more folks start using it, we'll consider an upgrade that gives users the option of having their posts and/or the replies emailed to them.

Looking forward to seeing your book -- cover and all! :)

Best,
