another point , since wave is federated cant that lessen the load somewhat ?
although that sortof enters p2p rather then federated but still. yet another reason to use wave for discussion, it forces the softare to actually make good on its features that it already has. also heck i cant imagine that many people are even on the mailing list i am tempted to say just try and start the discussion on my own wave server .. its on a 40mb down 5mb up dual bonded dsl line.
