I vote for the mail list because I keep many messages with good explainations that I don't always remember the exact wording of. this way I can search in my local archive and not have to search the entire tomcat archive. it would be difficult to for me to try to find these messages again in the archives. Saving data from webpages is a pain. I don't want 500 .html files on my machine, and just keeping a list of urls(or thread numbers) doesn't help much.
I do have many filters set up that send messages like 'unsubscribe' and 'InterScan' to the trash, and others to topic folders such as 'servlets', 'sessions', 'iis', etc. Since I do not use *nix, I send all those messages to the trash. This makes the list much more manageable since it keeps messages of a thread together and discards messages that I know I have no interest in or knowledge about.

I may have a web browser... But I'm somewhat restricted in trying to
surf to websites... Our internet connection over here is also rather
slow...
I vote for the Mailing list...;-)
