I got irritated by the "mailing lists are old, lets ditch them"
attitude.  My reply was not directed at you. Might have been a little
strong. Text lack accurate intonation representation, so it might seem
stronger than I intended.

I agree that it is not optimal, but again my response was not directed
at you.

It was a response to "we would be fine without a mailing list". That is
why the "we".

Yes, I'm aware of that, but this is still inconvenient in my opinion. I
still have to go to the web, login and post. Forums just can't work by
themselves and be convenient, they need helpers. In this example mail.
