2009/10/11 Mic J <michael.cogn...@gmail.com>: > Why is that better?
Because you get to pick your UI, because all your mail as amalgamated into one mailbox where you can sort it yourself where there's no easy place for garbage "off-topic" discussion, because your mailbox is where messages can be threaded properly, because there are no avatars or forum stats or ranks or administrators or moderators to create politics, because they're low overhead and easy accessible, because low-traffic mailing lists still catch everyone's attention where a low-traffic forum will eventually be ignored by the users... so on and so forth. There's bound to be a bunch of sites or archived rants/debates about this. If it helps, compare your average forum goer with your average mailing list denizen. That alone should be enough... -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li
