Subject: [TYPO3]  Mailing list or forum?

Whether or not off-topic:
When I started to use these lists (Dutch, German and English) some twon 
months ago or so, I, too, made the error of using the reply button to 
write a new message. After all, this is a good method in normal 
e-mailing is you already got another e-mail from the destinee.
Apart from this, several recent discussions in this English list (and 
not only there) indicate that I am not the only one who made this error, 
and that there are other confusing things about this mailing system.

I am absolutely convinced that real forum systems (like e.g. 
Mozillaforum, and others) are much more self-explaning.
You don't get an avalanche of messages in your e-mail reader that are 
not interesting for the moment. And when they become interesting at a 
later stage, they are pretty simple to find.

After all, news groups are popular within inly a limited group of 
internet users. Many serious web developers do not use news groups and 
consequently have no experience with them. Forums are much more 
convenient to use. Even the Typo3 bug tracker (Mantis) is more 
self-explaining than these prehiostoric news mailing lists.

So I, and many other people as well, would greatly applaud a change from 
these mailing lists to a real forum system.
