IMHO this would preclude people from just monitoring email and chipping in when they
feel like it.
Sitting at work I can't keep SLUG page open all day, and can't just install something
like SlashApp on the company machines (I'm not in I.T.), so web based discussions get
a bit cumbersome...
On the other hand it provides a basis for the Slug community to engage in OT
discussion without the usual protestations....

Another benefit (and one of the reasons the systems team here wanted

the mail groups or in SLUG's case, the mailing list. IM(probably
eschewed)HO, the mailing should mainly be for screams of
help/questions etc. A lot of the more interesting discussions (like
this) would be moved to the website, out of people's inboxes but
available should they care to read later or available in the search
engine should people do searches on discussions.
