I say that forum software would be useful because I am in three mailing lists at apache that I use in order to ask questions. Tomcat, Cocoon and this one. as a result i get an enormous amount of mail. Aout 95% of it is irrelevant to me. Im having to filter hundreds of messages per day and that is annyoing.
