Well, that's VERY MUCH a matter of point of view, and the view
is most probably very highly dependent on your year of birth.
For many old timers like me, e-mail is at least as natural as
web browsing. I see that such an attitude becomes more and more
outdated.

Well, one way is still *subscribing* to R-help and
occasionally helping each other,
instead of just perusing it as a resource ...

Yes, but it appends its silly footer (aka "advertizement") to
all mails sent out, luring people to use it.
I (as mailing list manager) have considered more than once to
just evaporate such footers as I evaporate most other
spam-footers (as e.g. from hotmail, yahoo, gmx, ...).
