That's not an argument for web forums, rather that's an argument for not using
your work email to subscribe to non-work discussion lists; use a non-work email
for the discussion lists instead. You can also configure your email client to
only check email when you tell it to rather than constantly. -- Darren Duncan
Filter the sqlite mails into their own mailbox. They can then be read at a
convenient moment.
That's exactly what I do. I have my PERSONAL email address that I subscribe to
a few dozen email lists with, and have automatic filters setup to shuffle each
list into its own mailbox. When I have separate work-provided email addresses,
I don't use them for anything but internal communication in that workplace, I
don't subscribe to email lists with them.
I certainly don't want a whole lot of sub-forums and the like, each of which
has to be checked in case there's something interesting there.
I don't want a web forum either, or at least not as a replacement for this email
list.
For that other use case someone mentioned about some people just have one-off
questions, forums provided by others such as Stack Overflow handle the job fine.
For official SQLite maintainers' forums, this email list is good.
