And that is where you hit the nail on the head: for *you* at least.
Look, all three suggested forms of communication are available to the
Newtonian: mailing list, forums and newsgroups. Apparently, judging by the
volume of traffic, the mailing list is the preferred means of communication
of by far most users.
What you and the original poster are suggesting, is essentially that
*everybody* should switch to using web-based forums, because *you* like it
better.
