+Got it. So public forums seem best for the interest of the general 
+public, ML (mailist) most likely best for devs mostly due to their 
+speed? I would imagine though, that devs on ML would spend some amount 
+(hopefully not that much) repeating requests for lack of easy access to 
+prior emails. Is this what happens with devs? Do you find that you will 
+spend a certain amount of time re-hashing emails as you would have 
+missed some prior talk on a subject?
+
+Most concern then would be about the dangers of the detachment of both 
+groups to one other -- hoping that somewhere along the line, devs and 
+the public could have a place to mix so as not to lose touch with each 
+other.
+
+A community is a little different from a business. The community members 
+are all partners. There is no master-servant relationship, more of a 
+direction-relationship.
