Michael,

what do you mean by "I tried" - how did you try to post the message? 

A mailing list is used here because it allows maximum working efficency, 
far over any web based service. 

People receiving several hundreds (or thousands) of messages daily can 
best handle them with mailing lists: you subscribe, create 
folders/filters and can browse them extremely fast as they are on your 
own computer and you can use your own mail client software. Most mail 
clients implement elaborated techniques to support quick work, as 
threaded view, hiding/unhiding messages or threads, filtered views,  
watching threads, replying to the list or to the sender only, etc. 

So maybe you just do not know how to make maximum benefit from the 
lists?
