I think it is marvellous that we have this list.

We should not be to hasty in migrating to another format. With a mail list
everything turns up in your mailbox. In many web forums you have to be
active and remember to check if there is anything new. My experience from
experiments in other organizations is that people are far less active in a
web forum. Which probably can be compensated by supplementing a web forum
with email and/or RSS.

As I stated before I am glad that Bob is willing to devote the time to
moderate postings. One can respond so quickly to an email or a web posting
that it is easy to write something that one regrets as soon as one has hit
enter. Face to face most people think twice before saying anything and if
they put their foot in it, they can immediately retract. Thanks Bob!
