Hi Paul
I am sorry but you are wrong. This system is the kinda thing that was running in the late 60's/70's - things have come a long way since then. Slim devices have an excellent product that is going to grow and support forums allow other uses to share their experience leaving the staff to spend more time developing the products we all enjoy.
I would expect 60% of new users will not participate with this current mailing list because it is ugly, slow and not straight forward which is why all major websites offering support, do not use mailing list support systems and have easy to use/navigate web based forums.
If you cannot see the lucidly clear advantaged of using a system like vbulitin then you are clearly beyond any ability to form an intelligent opinion. Please research what a modern forum system like vbulitin is capable of. You mention it is possible to view the current posts in a forum interface already. Well if that is your idea of a forum interface no wonder you are against it - the current system is dire.
I am not say this mailing list should cease, just a new system be put in place.
I want to see slim devices grow and this support forum issue must be dealt with sooner or later.
Regards,
Mix

Look in the archives. Forums for a lot of people suck. With e-mail, I can participate in many more projects and only have to deal with one interface.
Good luck, but if you put 1% of effort into looking in the archives (which are ina forum format already), you'll see this gets brought up every once in a while and slim devices is in the process of addressing it in their own FOSS way.

Something like www.vbulletin.com is the way to go. SD needs to make its support as stunning as its devices. Hope you folks agree.
