This List

[gary shelton]

I certainly hope they don't move this mailing list to some kind of 
webboard. I like the fact that using my own email client, I can organize 
and navigate messages in a way that's intuitive for me. I think that 
lack of search capability reflects more on the choice of email client 
versus the email format. i mean, even if you used mh to read your mail, 
you could always write a shell script or a perl program to dig through 
your mbox file...

So if votes are being tallied, my vote is to remain mailing list 
oriented... that gives me the most control over the content.

Just my $0.02 USD
