Firstly, I thoroughly agree with all of Thomas's points from his
opening message.

At one stage, I was on about 11 different (technical) mailing lists. 

It's less now, but even having to go to a few different sites to see
what's going on, and tediously reply back in their nearly always badly
designed form, is something I refuse to do.  Not to mention they rarely
allow you to save a draft, to work on a message that takes time to
compile.  Forcing to use an external editor for such things.  And then
you find you can't post something because you typed some < or > symbols
in and their HTML message handler is crap.

Facebook is the only web forum I participate in, and only because it
can't be done in another way, and only because friends kept on dragging
me into the damn thing. It's such a massive time-waster.

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