Horses for courses perhaps. But I get way too much email, and personally find
book marking a current web conversation much easier.

Moreover, I don?t want my email address shared with a massive (presumably) list,
so I have to use a ?throw away? address, which is added hassle. Especially when
said email address (Apple hide my email in this case) won?t let you use the same
address to send to multiple addresses - so I had to spoof a message to
?user-request@? so that I could use it to send further emails to ?user@?. I?ve
been on the Internet a looong time, and these old mailman style things aren?t
that common these days. I am involved in a lot of community projects though, so
I do understand the need for cheap and platform-less.

Probably for the reasons I?ve outlined ;) I don?t know who these emails are
going to, or where and how they are being archived. I deal with a few Icecast
servers, for community projects. I?m also a dev, and my name is Jem, so happy to
meet you.

Back to my point ;) That?s a lot of email addresses which can be harvested!

Not to sound rude, but sounds like a 'you' problem and not an
'Icecast
mailing list' problem.

Again, I don't get why you're protesting an established mailing list. To
quote Montell Jordan, "This is how we do it!" ;)
