It makes perfect sense that RZ would prefer the list because he only answers questions.  (Very well I might add...) RZ does not have problems with the need to search back in time to see if others have asked about it.  For instance, at this time, I know that there was interesting discussion about using VServer for testing a single-client app, but searching the mail archives is a futile endeavor.   Had that discussion been on a forum, I could easily search out the discussion and learn from it.

If the mail list was online in a decent searchable form, I would be happy.  But, at least the last time I looked, all you could do is download the zipped archive of the emails month by month.  That is not exactly user-friendly.

There is good information going fallow in the email list.
