Looking at my inbox and the archives, the delivery rate seems to hover somewhere 
around 80% which is not good at all. The problem with these mailing lists is that 
they are so decentralized. The error could have occurred at any point along the 
delivery chain. I suspect that switching from mailing list to a message board 
format would have prevented this from happening. Besides, IMHO, message boards are 
a lot more convenient than mail-based fora. It's much easier to choose and track 
the threads you care about and you don't get "the whole list" in your inbox every 
time you open it. Finally, it would be nice to free up that precious inbox space 
for private communication only (and spam).
