Who wants to go to a damn site anyway?!

At present I get all postings to pianotech and CAUT in the mail and 
they are automatically filtered to the appropriate Eudora mailboxes. 
If I see a thread that interests me I'll follow it.  If I see that a 
long thread is concerned with  holy scripture, the price of petrol in 
Broken Jaw and all the other garbage that hits the list, then I'll 
delete all the messages in that thread -- if I have time.

If I want to find all messages that mention x, y or z from n, m or o 
than I can bring them up in five seconds from postings going back 5 
years or more, the same as I can with all my other mail.  If I want a 
message from Joe Garrett that mentions maple or oak from whatever 
year, I can find it in a couple of seconds.

This whole web-mail/web-list business is a total waste of time.  I 
grew up with Listserv lists with proper archives and proper options, 
most of which are set to bounce html mail and that's where I stick.
