I for one think this would be great.. I don't mind checking a forum everyday. But for example, not everyone has hdtv and those emails just keep coming and filling up the ol' inbox :-)

And on a forum, you have to read all the names of those threads you have no interest in. With a decent mail client setup correctly you never see the threads you dont want to read, they are deleted. On a forum, those posts are always there, and you have to wade thru them when searching for anything. One more reason why not to duplicate work and make people look in multiple places to gain access to this mailing list (ie sign up at forum, then you also have to sign up at the mailing list as well.) And why do you want to have to add more work to what you have to do when you come online? You already check your mail, and can have filters setup to flag any threads youd be interested in; why add on having to visit a forum, and then wade thru the new posts of the day to see if any of them are of interest to you?

Do people not know how to use a mail client? Do people not want the posts in real time? Do people not understand that a mailing list is much more effecient than a forum?
