Joel, I agree 100% with your point about searchability with Google's awesome software/robots, and that is why I subscribed to this email list with my Gmail address--I get all of the benefits of the email format and it is indexed and searchable forever back as far as I want with Google. Here I come off sounding like an advertisement for Google. It groups all the responses into the same thread, and I didn't have to tweak it. I don't even have to pay for it--well, not pay them $ in an obvious way :-) Whenever something is free, you are product being marketed [to]...
Having said that. I'm all for using something that is RSS-enabled or whatever, but it's hard to argue with something that is easy and mature as regular old email.
