I strongly vote for keeping the mailing list! It arrives automatically
in my inbox, where it gets filtered into its proper place. I know from
experience that I read incoming mail several times a day, and visit
different "web boards" only a few time a week. using my mail reader for
this provides me a uniform interface to all the lists I subscribe,
instead of having to learn the interfaces of all those different web
boards. I have this list archived at home, where I can search it as I
want, with what ever tools I want, instead of some board manager
deciding what kind of searches I need. And the list has been stable and
well-functioning for a number of years - I would hate to see it being
built on something that we have no control over, that could decide to go
missing overnight, and leave us all high and dry.

Nobody can stop you from starting a yahoo group, but I will stick with
this list as long as there are interesting discussions here.

Just my personal opinion, of course
