 At the risk of being labeled a "Heretic" or worse. And with an upfront
 statement, that this in no way reflects on the fabulous work being done by
 Jay.....

 Now this *might* lead to something interesting.... A few thoughts (in no
 particular order) 
For people who have to pay-per-minute for their internet connection (i.e. 
dial-up, metered calls, which is common in the UK), there is one big 
advantage to the mailing list.

Namely that you can download all the messages (which takes a few minutes 
per day, even on an old/slow modem), then spend time looking up answers, 
checking manuals, etc and then send the repliex. 

I can assure you that I, for one, would be able to provide a lot less 
information if I couldn't look things up because I was paying for the time.
