+This is offtopic here. I completely disagree, incidentally. I need to
+read about 30 or 40 different community lists. It's *much* quicker for
+me to have a standard UI and a standard way of operating and a standard
+look and feel.
+
+Each project having a separate forum, with separate logins, with
+separate style and separate features etc. makes for a very hard and time
+consuming reading experience. There is a similar argument for why HTML
+messages are bad too (consistent style makes everyone's life easier). So
+forums are only really good if you only follow a couple of projects or
+only follow projects fairly superficially. Mailing lists are better for
+the rest of us who are have to follow more projects.
