Maybe they can be convinced, though… Lurker here. :) I lurk, both on -ideas and -dev, primarily to stay well-informed on new ideas coming down the pipeline, and occasionally (but rarely) voice my two cents. I signed up on Discourse after this thread started, and turned on mailing list mode immediately. So far, I have no problems with that. It suits my purpose just fine once I muted the Users forum. I might mute a few others soon. I consume the mailing lists (and now Discourse) through standard Gmail interfaces (both the web interface and the official Android app), so I cannot speak to the lack of proper threading (it's all linear anyway in Gmail). I do use filters in Gmail to label threads by list, and I found that Discourse plays nice with this: each forum, like each mailing list, has its own mailing list attribute with a corresponding "list:" search prefix in Gmail, so filtering, labeling, and organizing by forum is easy.
