People are welcome to make non-mail-based forums in addition to this list, but I think a lot of the people on here, like me, really like a good old-fashioned *mailing* list that doesn't attract confused persons talking about the "site"[1]. I like having all the email archives on my own computer where I can grep them. And I'm grateful for the 100-messages-a-day limit. Otherwise, I could never catch up when I'm behind.
