Ditto! Part of what is nice about these mailing lists is the
simplicity for the end user. I (as a user) don't have to go off to
some web site to browse some forum that works
almost-like-but-not-nearly-as-well as email or newsgroup discussions.
Case in point: mgs@autox.team.net vs the forum at
http://www.mgcars.org.uk/
The latter has lots of information, and presents it quite effectively
(for a web site). I read and follow mgs regularly. I check
mgcars.org.uk once or twice a week (if that).
On the other hand, if creating the web forum is fun to you, I don't
want to stop you from "scratching the itch"!
