This anology is not quite right. There is a large difference between setting up a QWK format offline reader and setting up a Waffle site. The "cost" is _not_ the same. I happen to agree that, ideally, setting up another Waffle is the way to go, but if you are not used to UNIX-ish software, an offline reader is MUCH easier to get running.
