I can see that that he Forum medium has a lot of advantages.
However, the list has at least one non-trivial advantage
for me: since I pay for my home ISP (aol), I can spend
as little as 3 minutes online and download my daily messages.
After that I go offline and I spend as much time as I want
sorting and sifting.
I guess the real issue is: should we have both a forum
and a list? I think not. If I had to choose only one I think
the forum is overall better. Now if I could only get that
remote access of my workplace's ISP to work...
