Absolutely, some things carry over from the 20th Century because they
work. There are 21st Century applications that make email lists work
even better. Like many here, I filter with Thunderbird. It would work
better if everyone used a [product tag] in the Subject line, but it
isn't onerous as it is.
The mailbox analogy is a good one. Forums are necessary with a large
community with a wide number of interests. But not for a relatively
focused group like Elecraft.
I'm only posting as this thread is becoming a de facto poll. My choice
would be to leave the list alone.

Today, I get get hundreds of messages per day and visit zero forums. Forum
interfaces are clumsy and inefficient and I would have to visit each one to
check whether there was anything new. It would be like having to walk to
different mailboxes for each person who might send me mail.
