Somewhere there must be some combined Web-forum-and-mail-list tool. I'd kinda prefer a forum, just becuase the traffic on this list is so high. I think a lot of AOL or yahoo account people are kept off this list becuase of the traffic volume. So how is handling the volume going to be easier if it's a web based forum? It's going to be a lot slower, and you won't be able to delete posts you don't want to read - they'll always sit there, every time you go back to refer to something or search for something.
And what about the people on this list who don't have 24/7 internet? If I have to read this list through a web based forum on my dial-up (which is charged for by the telecom by the minute) I could just as well buy the Professional Desktop or SLES and get the support with it - won't cost much more.
