... unless you're using GMANE which is one of the few remaining *sane* ways of handling dozens of mailing lists AFAICT. In contrast to mailing lists it doesn't seem feasible to keep up with dozens of online forums since they a) mostly run different software, i.e. usually non-mail-friendly, and b) I cannot get a unified interface to all the forums I would need to if all the mailing lists I'm currently following were to be converted to forums. I fully recognize that this isn't likely to convince anyone who isn't used to the awesome that is GMANE/NNTP, but I just want to point out what a shame it is that we're going ever-closer to siloization of the "debate/discussion" format (and content!) when we actually have a reasonably good technology to avoid it (NNTP) -- just out of apathy and/or laziness on the part of forum software users *and* vendors/implementers. :( _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
