+1 for keeping a mailing list. My reasons are most of the ones that've
already been stated -- tracking a bunch of mail lists is much easier
than registering within and following a bunch of different forums.
Google Group's interface seems like the best of both worlds -- it
appears to be a forum, but it's really backed by a mailing list.

Quoting Dan North <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi folks.
I've submitted a request to GMane <http://gmane.org/> to subscribe to the
list. That way you will have an indexed, searchable, threaded, web-friendly
version of the mail list.
I'll let the list know once it's live.
Hope that helps,
Dan

1. Don't most user forum implementations have an email feature so that you
can ask to be sent email of any posts? Everybody that likes email can
register for email notifications while everybody that likes user forums can
use the user forum directly. The user forum will satisfy both preferences.
2. Why should everyone archive all the messages themselves duplicating and
wasting disk space when it could be done in one place by the owner's of the
user forum database?
3. If the worry is that the owner of the user forum database will go away
and all of the messages are lost, then the same worry happens if relying on
other mailing lists archival sites when they go away.
4. I would think a quality product would provide a means to transfer the
user forum database to someone else rather than just pulling the plug.

Actually, I don't think I could even track 50 different lists if
there's sufficient traffic on any of them. I don't have that kind of
time in my day. I have about 5, and I end up ignoring most of the
mails if the subject isn't pertinent to me at that moment.
