I gotta disagree with this. A mailing list is, like a newsgroup, just a discussion forum, but without the huge amount of advertising and job posting crap found in the groups. I subscribe to this list specifically because I value the ideas I get by reading other peoples discussions, and I gave up on the newsgroups several years ago. A couple of messages a day? That is a list that is about to disappear into oblivion. CIAO - Martin.
