Did this. I didn't like all the clicking; I prefer shortcut keys.
Press the ? key and a window will pop up with all the keyboard shutcuts

platforms so users familiar with them find it easy to use. Also seems

in the intersection of those two factors.

But which is night and which is day? :-) Seriously, this is a value
judgement, which is true for *you*, but not necessarily for others.
Are you similar to the people who are being targeted by this change?
Yes? That's evidence it might work.
I believe the product provides a more natural discussion environment, while
allowing a mailing list mode for those who prefer that. Considering the many
current deployments, that appears to be a popular opinion.

I don't think any of the Fedora lists I'm subscribed to are high

does show there is room for growth.
That was mainly in response to a concern about the platform scalibility.
