Agreed, tools are tools. I prefer something like a forum because it
frees me from having to do the storing and indexing myself. This list
hits my gmail account for that reason, and that reason only. I despise
graphical mail clients with the same vigor you despise forums and
prefer mutt for my daily work, but that means I don't have access to a
proper search interface unless I set one up myself. So I leave the
storing, indexing, and making searchable of the list to Google, and
there's a bunch to store, index, and make searchable - I have been
subscribed since inception, almost nine years now?.

Nothing about this particular setup makes it easy for newcomers to
search and find solutions. It's not like TM *ahem* changed much in the
past *ahem* months, so issues you and I might have dealt with in 2009
can be new for someone who just yesterday downloaded the trial. Now,
trying to find THAT in the mailman interface (which is the linked
resource off the website) is harsh. Wouldn't having a nice search
option, linked right from the website, be better? Your dislike for
forums aside, that is.
