On the other hand, if all you have is a hammer, everything starts
looking like a nail.
Mailing lists are a really nice hammer, but not everything lends
itself to being a nail. For many years, we've used mail lists to
distribute information because mailing lists were what we had. Lists
are very good for some things, but that doesn't mean they're
appropriate for all things.
The big problem is, we built hammers years ago, and put a lot of
effort into making really good hammers. But we're just now doing the
same for screwdrivers and table saws, so we tend to use the hammer
for everything, even if other technologies make more sense.
