+<PRE>There is one point that has not been made, but is to my mind important in this 
+discussion. I have been on the Mandriva user list for years, and have also 
+used forums (fora ?) for more specialized queries on OpenOffice and others, 
+where no ML was available.
+
+The huge difference to me between the two approaches is this: From a list I get 
+emails every day, glance at them all and delete most of them immediately, 
+store some of them for future reference, and try to reply to those I feel I 
+can help with. The forum I only visit when I have a problem, and post a 
+question, but the rest of the time I do not log in, so I do not get to see 
+other people's problems, and do not get the opportunity to help.
+
+I can hear the howls of contempt, that I leech the forum but do not contribute 
+etc. but life is too short, and forum pages download too slow, for me to log 
+in there daily to see what is happening, just in case I see something 
+interesting or I can help others there.
+
+We could have both a mailing list and a forum, separate, but this would cause 
+a multiplication (and waste) of efforts, and loose the cross-pollination 
+between the ML community and the Forum community.
+
+So, to my mind, the best option would be to have all messages appearing on 
+both a forum for those who prefer that format, and a mailing list for those 
+whose preference goes that way, thus giving all what they like/need/want 
+without waste or loss to either group. 
+ 
+Cheers,
+ 
+Ron, on the banks of the Paraguay River.
