Yes, and apologies if I sounded ill-tempered. It's pretty likely that we've been slightly miscommunicating. (I was working yesterday from just after 6 AM to about 9:30 PM, so I was very tired.[1]) As I was saying, I personally also prefer discussion-type mailing lists, but thought you were, at least by implication, suggesting that the Sun Managers variety were for some reason unworkable. (In fact, if the membership wants that sort, they work quite well.) But, if you weren't trying to suggest that, my apologies. If you honestly think, as you're saying, that such a list type tends in any way to produce a list with questions but not answers, please examine the leading instances of such lists, and you'll see that it's not so. And I certainly wouldn't dream of objecting to expression of views on how lists should operate. I just urge distinguishing between where one is analysing observations about them and where one switches to advocacy on what are claimed to be moral grounds. Those are separate discussions. People mixing up the two tends to make me uneasy, even when I share the speaker's preferences. (For my sins, I'm probably going to now find examples of my doing the exact same thing. ;-> Oh well.)
