This is an interesting discussion.  From the point of view of
functionality, I agree with the "Stack Overflow" approach.  I find it hard
to agree that one really can get as much out of the content that's been
posted if it's shared in email digest form.  Certainly we have many
powerful tools at our disposal to search and then sift through results, but
at some point one has to concede that some newer ideas are pretty good.
No one wants to use archie to search for files anymore.

I can see that one might object to the fact that stackoverflow exists to
"monetize" the comments.  That is, a community of people (e.g. java
programmers) uses it in exchange for seeing ads and perhaps having their
posts used in some other way (not that I'm aware of this happening).  While
one may or may not agree with this view, it ought not to be trivialized.
In this case, lilypond could have its own forum, based on GPL software like
phpBB.
