Personally I wouldn't like it. I much prefer email lists, such as the one
we are currently on. I have been on a couple of lists that went to web
based, and they shortly died out. From my perspective, the problem seems
to be that in an email list, you can breeze through several posts in
seconds, whereas on a web based one, it takes, depending on your
connection speed, and with half the list being duos, connect speeds are
gonna be terrible, it takes like 30 seconds or so to refresh a page.
Multiply that times, how many posts in an everage day, 20? and it takes
10 minutes just to read the messages, and posting takes a lot longer too.
I like the list the way it is, personally.
