Why isn't Rev more popular? [Mailing List]

[Judy Perry]

I think we've had previous discussion on the topic of mail list vs. web
board and, IIRC, the majority of respondents preferred using a mail list.

I know I do, and the reason is that I'm simply too scatterbrained,
over-multi-tasked, insufficiently disciplined, and forgetful for a web
board to be useful for me.  I want something that comes to me whether I
want it to or not and whether I think I'll need it today or not.
