Hummmm this doesn't works perfect actually...
a couple of weeks ago the dutch mailing list had problems
where the newgroups worked ok and both systems where not synced  
correctly.

We also had last year lot's of problems with bounces to
TYPO3-english.

I was also under the impression (a couple of years ago)
that the people from punkt didn't like mailinglist for the reason
of traffic to there servers, same as with TER.
Wouldn't you think they will not be happy with a active forum?

I don't want to sounds negative here, I am all for good communications,
but I just remember these cases...
