I don't prefer nntp over email. afaik nabble isn't a nntp server anyway (gmane IS a nntp gateway and it hosts dwm list), so it's not the point. What I prefer is to search big mailing lists archived as online forums, to lurk without previous subscription, etc. Of course, there would be no problem if it were for the dwm list alone. The fact is that I follow a considerable number of other mailing lists, and most of them are hosted by nabble, so nowadays I tend to centralise my mailing list usage there. gmane is mostly fine too, but they have no alerts to follow interesting threads and posting is a bit clumsy.
