You're preaching to the choir. Our initial plan was simply to provide an open forum catalog. I won't bore you with the issues of how things evolved into also adding the list archives, but I've been fighting to get the posting methods changed from day 1 because I knew that some lists would object. Others in our group felt that a consistent UI was important for the user, so they didn't want to just cut in a simple mail form like gmane.

By design, we trying to do better than gmane and in a lot of areas, I think we've succeeded. Hopefully, when we get the posting changes done to use a subscription model, you'll agree.
