Re: mailing list vs. message board?

[Bethany Keeley <blk4 at calvin_edu>]

what I like about the list is that it arrives quick and easy in my E-
mail.  This is also a downside, though, when I'm looking for personal 
messages if I'm busy or if I've been gone for a while.  Its also easy 
(intentionally or unintentionally) to send offlist E-mails to a person 
rather than the whole list.
I agree with Kylie, Yahoogroups are a pain, especially with such a 
large number of people (I run one for a group of friends though to 
contact everyone at once, and that's convenient and user-friendly.  
Better than anything else I've come up with anyway)
I do visit some messageboards however (in fact, I have another group of 
friends that uses one of those to stay in touch).  They encourage 
compulsive checking of websites, whereas checking the list is just part 
of my compulsive E-mail checking (plus or minus? you decide).
I like the list because that's the way it already is.  If we went to 
messageboard I'd probably like that too.  Sticking with the list at 
this point is less work though :-p

rambly..
