There's another point that I think should be made here, and that is that
there have been a great many people that have joined the list and left again
because of the volume of mail. A BBS would provide an alternative, possibly
keep those people in the fold, at least peripherally, instead of driving
them off. There would be other benefits, such as posting pictures in the
post that refers to them, instead of having them linked out to flickr or
some such where they could be 'lost', or disassociated from the post.
As I said, I think an effective hybrid would be the best of both worlds;
having said that, I would prefer it stay solely email rather than have an
ineffective hybrid. Setting up a parallel system would allow us to test and
experience the thing before a final decision was made.
