I like this idea.
runrevforums.com is available. Forum software is easy to setup. I can
get the name and host it (with Runtime Revolution's blessing that is.)
No need to moderate (much.) If one wants it all pushed to them via
email, that's easy to do.
I must admit that I like getting the email though. It typically gets
faster response for those in need. Brackets in the [Subject] line are
not to hard to do.
The big thing for me is not to "split" the traffic into other lists. I
find it to much work to check so many locations all the time.
WAIT A SECOND! How about RSS? Half-hour digests of the list via RSS?

Excellent point, Gordon.
I really don't agree with "segmenting" the list, because now we're supposed
to go to location A for "graphics," location B for "business," and pretty
soon it will be location C for buttons, location D for this, location E for
that...
The problem is that each of these unofficial offshoots have a fraction of
the participation that this official list does. Inevitably, we'll see useful
discussions quashed with the line, "take this to such-and-such" a venue. To
me it seems like "vigilante moderation."
As much as I really enjoy gmane as an NNTP interface to the list -- it's
made things MUCH easier to follow -- these "problems" segmenting is supposed
to solve would ALL be obviated if Rev put up a simple phpBB-based board with
common-sense categories. It is not difficult or expensive to do this. [And
yes, phpBB can be configured to send email to members, for those who prefer
the "push" style.] Then we would all have one place to go and people could
skip the categories they are not interested in.
[Sorry, I don't plan to join/participate in those offshoot forums.]
