Hi Jesse,
This is the way the world is going. It's a shame. I actually like email
lists, I'm heavily email based for other reasons, and I find web forums a
pain to use. Yahoo groups at least intergrates the two, so one could use
which ever one felt comfortable with. I will see what the email facilities
on the TS forum are like, but unless they allow joining in completely via
email only, then I'll not be joining in much in future.
One good feature of some web forums are their attached wiki's, or "pinned"
threads for capturing FAQ's HOWTO's etc which can be really useful for new
users/customers etc.
