Personally, I'd be much more comfortable if this
mailing list were impressed on clay tablets, baked,
and delivered quarterly by ox cart.
On the other hand, BBS forums have the huge advantage
of being able to segregate everything into specific
categories and topics. In truth, as I'm sure I said
once several years ago, I'd MUCH rather this were a
BBS forum than this stone-age mailing list format.
But alas, there are always those who, like Mark Twain,
are in favor of progress but uncomfortable with
change.
