My bugbear with conglomerated email lists and web forums is that while
they aim to serve both worlds, they each have different usage patterns,
which only partially overlap.  But in either case, people don't write
comprehensible replies.

*Yes*, you do *need* to quote bits in replies on web forums.  Five
people might reply to someone, we need some context of who you're
replying to, and what you're replying to.  We can't just "look up one"
because the message above yours may not be the one that you're replying
to.  *AND* its contents are usually not visible at the same time as
reading yours (many email gateway forums only show the contents of one
message at a time).

I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.
