If the ML existed parallel to the forum I could see the same question
being asked in more than one place - anyone who was following both would
see a duplicate.

My private  ML archive is pretty big now, but if I have a question I
usually google for it first rather than search in Outlook - nabble is
perfectly visible to google, it may be ugly but it works really well.

I agree that the ML UI isn't great, but not bothering to search is a user
problem not a technology problem.
