I also find newlists to be a bit exclusive. A user can't just browse what has been said-- they have to sign up for the email list. This can be a bit intimidating for a newcomer.
Having said that, I know that there is a web interface to search archives. But That is not properly threaded or divided into sections. Also, the new forum might be a better place for those not wanting the technical level of detail that is often found on this newlists. So I encourage readers to put a link to it and occasionally check it, and to help any newcomers that happen to post there.
