I don't think anyone's claimed speed of disposition as a criterion.
Clock time and efficiency of interface are completely unrelated.
Read 350 posts to a mailing list, in a
well-configured mail client of your choice.
Read 350 posts to any web forum.
Go Google "therbligs".
You're on track... the most time-wasting thing is the distraction
of starting to look at other interesting sites, not the keystrokes
and mouse movements you carried out to do it. Therbligs. Interesting and relevant. Hadn't
heard of them
before. Would love to see some charted, in color. Color itself
as a clue to whether two motions were dissonant! Wonderful!
See my 2001 post below. However, in terms of time and motion, it
might be easier to scroll down (using your choice of interface)
rather than telling you to 'grep' your personal archive (and hoping
you hadn't pre-filtered and trashed the message) and assuming that
I can't simply include a hyperlink to it because this would
offend those on slower, non-WWW-capable computers.
So far in this thread, you've not actually rebutted *anyone's*
arguments in favor of mailing lists and have resorted to tangential
irrelevancies and veiled insults.
Since you also haven't named a single web forum or even a single
feature of web fora as an example of their superior features, I have to
assume you've conceded the whole point.
