Mark,

My understanding is that both will continue in parallel. I prefer the  
mail list format, as do many others who have expressed an opinion  
here. For me forums are like having to travel to a bunch of different  
specialty stores and shopping for things I might be interested in. A  
mail list is like, well, having the postman bring me flyers from all  
the stores--I glance over them and only read the ones I'm interested in.

My $.02/tuppence/€.02, etc.
