I don't have any desire to spend time composing a message to the list only to have a chance of it being rejected, and I think there are a whole lot of others who feel the same way.
But maybe there's another possibility. What about having two lists, a regular, old-style one, and another, limited to the top 8 or so of the best messages of the day? > But can you please give some thought to the question of how to distinguish > the functions of Citizendium-L vs. the CZ Forums. > Some people prefer to communicate via email, some people prefer to use forums. Each has its advantages. For discussions about Citizendium right now, I actually prefer email. I find gmail's threading and labelling systems to be just about as good as forums, and using my mail client (which happens to be gmail) I can access to threads from multiple different mailing lists (Citizendium, Wikipedia, Tor, my local Linux User Group, etc.) all in one place. Using email also fits in well with the Citizendium principle of being based on real people using real names. I remember a couple years ago when I had the opposite opinion though, and much preferred forums, so I fully understand how opinions can differ. What'd be great is if the two communications channels could somehow be integrated. When someone replies to a thread via email, it gets posted to the forum. When someone posts to the forum, it gets sent via email. I'm not sure if there is any software out there that allows this. There sure should be.
