Good for you. I've signed up for many mailing lists AND forums. There is

No that's wrong, they're quite different and both have advantages and
disadvantages.
so, it's YES, not NO. Henrik said "nothing [snip] better or worse",
which is what you said.
Why did you snip the single word "inherently" ? There seems to be a
basic logic flaw in what you're saying. He said, "Nothing inherently
better or worse" and I said, yes there is. That doesn't mean I agree
with him. For an example of something that is inherently better in
mailing lists: The message delivery mechanism.
English is my first language, I know what I'm saying when I write it.

If someone set up a proper SA forum, I'd be happy to stop by. But it
might
be hard to get all the developers and other active participants join
there,
which is what makes all the difference.
Set up the forum. It might work. I'm not anti-forum, I just think
mailing lists are generally better.
I too prefer mailing lists. but I think it's because I am used to. and
firefox eats too much memory... (don't tell me about flash).
Use a different web browser?
