Message: [QUOTE="Chad Perrin, post: 4525293"] Even if I liked the web interface more (which I don't), I still wouldn't use it. One of the major problem with it for me is the fact that it's yet another place I have to go to keep up with things. Email works excellently for me because it allows me to aggregate communications I wish to follow in one single place. An RSS-to-email service for weblogs, mailing lists, and newsletters to inform me of new material in specific venues all add up to the ability to keep my informational life managed through a single interface: my mail user agent. If I used a web forum for all my mailing list activity, I'd have to visit a half-dozen forums several times a day to keep up -- especially since a forum doesn't inform me that it has received new material the way email does. When a forum does inform me of new material, it does so by email. As such, I just use email. Some people don't have this requirement, so they prefer to use the web forum instead. More power to 'em. I just hope they realize they aren't the only people in the world involved in the discussion, and accomodate those of us on the mailing list appropriately. Besides, I find mutt (my mail user agent) lets me sift through and respond to messages a heck of a lot faster than Firefox (my browser) would. [/QUOTE]
