At the risk of... well, of what I'm not sure yet.
What, exactly are the advantages of retaining a mailing list format as
opposed to adopting a closed web-based BBS? I'm not in fact suggesting
it... I'm just curious.
I'm not a frequent contributor to the list (at least not in any sort of
useful sense), but I've been a member for several years, and since the
first week or so of being 'here' opted out of receiving any mail or
digest... instead I view the ebb and flow at the web archive page, which
used to take about fifteen to twenty minutes (based on watching for my
own posts) to update. (The update time appears to have been
substantially reduced with the new system.)
I just never saw the point of receiving so much mail, when I could as
easily monitor the list from a web page... pick and choose the subject
lines that were of interest and move on. When I wanted to contribute, I
simply addressed mail to the list.
It sure saves on aggravation. Doubtless most of you are 'power' e-mail
users anyway... but I've never even had to design a filter...
So, how come the apparent devotion to this format?
(Don't hurt me.)
Peter B.
