I have been on several lists that have had a similar discussion and they
have all come to the same conclusion. While a forum is a good repository for
static data, a mailing list is a more reactive and responsive means of
getting data on immediate issues, and also it's a lot easier to look at in a
work environment without anyone noticing! :-)
I like lists - I'm on about a dozen. European motorycycling lists have a
particular appeal as they all seem very civilised and friendly - doesn't
matter if it's BMW, Guzzi, Ducati, Triumph, or a more obscure marque, all
are equally welcoming. This one, while low volume, has the same positive
attributes.
