I've been thinking about this, and I think my personal cutoff is, oddly enough, the use of email (but not necessarily to the Agoran lists). I'd be OK with this only if the external interface was used, or at least usable, entirely via emailing messages to it and getting emailed responses. I'm not quite sure why this is, and not sure I want to rationalise it by guessing at the reason. -- ais523
