One of the bigger problems (I find) with the social media and
community sites that want to replace a mailing list is, some sites
don't allow search engines to crawl their sites. So you don't even
know where to go to get a question answered. You have to start at the
site and search at the site.

I personally don't buy into the theres-an-app-for-that-mailing-list
mentality. I don't participate in the social networking experiments. I
refuse to be the product.
