[TxMt] Re: Actual Forum?

This isn't a "software project" it's a "software product". Not everyone
interested in TextMate wants to hack on it.

Also note that the people "voting" on this topic are self-selected to be
pro-mailing list since the pro-forum folks have given up OR are using a
different product.

Mailing list says "pre-web mentality".

You're right, you don't need "another account" to use a mailing list, you
just need to vomit a spurious copy of the entire thing into your most
important account. That's like saying you don't need a library card if
you're willing to build on an annex to your house and have a dumpster load
of books stuck in it every day.
