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

[Steve]

One of the things I like about a web board interface is being able to 
mark a thread ans as subcribed and then receiving email notices whenever 
there is a post. Ideally though I would probably use a news reader such 
as gravity and let it highlight topics I am participating in. To me the 
mailing list method of keeping up to date is the one I least prefer. 
Most of the time I want to search first before I post and unless you 
subscribed from day one to a list and keep your mail from that list 
forever you need to go to a web interface first anyways.
