My two cents...

if it not broke, don't fix it...I keep reading about the need to
"modernize"...I have to wonder why.  This list has been around for years,
it's helped me, and I'm sure others, in countless ways.  There are currently
other online forums that are currently in place.

I guess if folks don't like this format, they can do a couple of things.

1. move on
2. create your very own

Really, I wonder what the real issue is.  I know some have trouble searching
the archives, but when that happens, a simple email to the list usually
yields the desired information.  Other than that, I'm not sure what the
benefit of changing would be. I opened a Gmail account just for this list,
and now I have my own archives.

Also, I know I've tried posting on forum sites like the Samba and had poor
results.  I post something here, and I've received almost immediate feedback
and help.  I see that as a good thing...
