I personally don't like checking websites (or newsgroups or whatever) all the time for new messages.
One problem with a hierarchically organized forum is, that I must beforehand know, in which category to look (or post) if it's not obvious. And sometimes it's not even clear because the topics aren't orthogonal or a posting fits into more than one category. So if there was a forum, I'd like it to - let me search through all categories simultaneously - have it email me all messages being posted (because eMail I always read) Cheers, Fritz On Wed, 4 Jan 2012, Mehrez KRISTOU wrote: > Sure there are reasons behind choosing a mailing list as communication > medium.
