One obvious advantage is that all posts can be well organized and
categorized to the proper places. All NVCs and Fryday stuff can be
separately categorized into their proper cup holders as well. These
cup holders can be kept for a week or two and need not be archived.

Another advantage is that we have quite a few vendors participating
in the list. We could ask them to provide some financial support.
The forum then provides them a link or some web space for advertising.
I am sure this will serve everyone well. I don't have to book mark
Bus Depot nor Van Cafe any more. I am sure they will love to participate
too.
