If I recall correctly that was the general feeling, that we wanted the list to stay as an e-mail list, and Marissa said it looked like she was the only one who wanted it. So I took that to mean that she is giving up the idea.

I like getting email rather than going and hunting up a message board just to read a given list. Immagine how much extra time and hastle would be involved if each mailing list you were on would be transformed into one of these boards. I know I wouldn't bother with any of it unless there were a specific question I was interested in and the board had an archive that was easily searchable. Perhaps its all a matter of what one is use to. I love the www for many things. Email is not one of them. mary
