Why can't this list be as a forum?
This is the way Apple's mailing lists -used- to work about 3 years ago
- mailing lists, NNTP access, and a Web forum interface (Web Crossing)
as well. It was great, but I understand it was a bit of an
administrative problem to keep running.
Personally I'd be happy if the current server was upgraded so it could
appropriately handle peak loads without taking hours to deliver
messages. That Apple places so little importance on these mailing
lists that they don't allocate it adequate hardware resources stuns
me.
