I don't think that our discussion about it would change anything, though.
By the way, a couple of other advantages of mailing
lists against (LL) forums:
- everybody can read this mailing list (LL forums are restricted
to pre-August-2006-users and users with Payment Info on File)
- discussions can be found using web search engines
- you can set filters so that messages coming from known trolls
or people you can't stand (or even boring threads) get automatically
deleted

Sorry for going offtopic and saying something you (probably)
already know, however .. if you use Thunderbird, compact
your folders - or your 'deleted' messages won't never really
get deleted from your hard disk (so that those pauses in the
application will persist and will keep growing):
