Mark, I'm in favor of anything that makes your job easier !
However, I've got to say that this format is considerably more difficult for me
to use than the mail lists. Not so much difficulty of navigation (the buttons
are there, they just aren't as obvious as perhaps some people need), it's just
that every action over the web takes time; while email is automagically
delivered to my desktop so I can read it at hard drive speeds. Yes, I have a
reasonably high speed connection, but the annunciator at the bottom of the page
says it took 2.7 seconds to generate this page, during which time I stared at a
blank screen. NBD until you start talking about hundreds of posts/day.
Just my $.02
