We have seen the same type discussions on in other list and it 
eventually comes down to the minimum requirements.  Mailing list have 
the lowest requirements and allows more people to join in.  It is easy 
to forget, when you have broadband access, that it is not world wide. 
Some areas have to pay by the kilobyte for access.  I still remember 
when 14.4 was high speed access to bulletin boards. :)
