I think it's easy to be enticed by added features such as posting pictures,
polls, and better search capability - and I can see where these things would
be useful. However, I think that the e-mail list is really the way to go.

It could be my limited experience in using the but web forum/bulletin type
applications seem a bit confusing to navigate at times - again this could be
me. I firmly agree though that they are much less personal and losing the
personality from this list community would be a shame.

If you want to compare it to something well it's like the difference between
a Vanagon and any American mini-van. Sure the minivan gets better gas
mileage, is new, has more gadgets and doodads (stock anyway), etc. - However
the minivan isn't even close in the personality department. New is good but
not always better.

If there is e-mail list software that will somehow improve the list in some
way - great. Other than that I think we should try to centralize everything
so our administrator has access and leave it at that.
