IF you have connectivity while you are reading, which is my whole
point. The one big advantage of mailing lists over news or web
access is that you can download your emails and browse through it

only once, actually. Whereas there are ~200 potential readers
(committers). In my opinion, if I want some work done, i better
try to stimulate/attract the interest of those who have to do the
work -- not to mention the advantage of a bit of verbosity when
searching through mailing list archives etc.
