Kudos to Kai and TerraSoft for their commitment to "do the right thing." Here's my vote:
I've used both types and you can count me as another one who prefers the lean interface of email over the fat interface of a web forum.
I find it easier to submit and/or answer questions and easier to search for answers to my questions. Those are the three things I do most often.
The yellowdog-general list has been an excellent resource for me in the past. The posts are unusually knowledgeable and informative. There is a minimum of the "chit-chat" that pollutes many mailinglists. Best of all, for all their businesslike attitude, the folks here are friendly and always courteous. It's a rare group and one I'm proud to be involved with.
