Some questions are out of my scope. But the information provided is
valuable to me and to those whom I support.

Hi Jim,
This is the type of information that is needed. Would using a forum work
as well? If not why?
I'm another with a dislike of web fora.
They've always seemed much harder to use - whether to get a query
submitted, or a response or to search archives. And you lose serendipity
- with a mail list, you see a stream of questions/answers with the
regular email and can leap in (if appropriate!), and fork a thread if
necessary; with a forum, you have to make a special effort to look. And
Effort is the watchword.
