One thing this conversation has done, is it's making me think that the 
impression I got from the other group was - shall we say - misleading.

They sold it on the basis of the web interface. This conversation is 
selling it on the basis of "the mailing list is just as good, and the 
web is icing on top". Well, I don't want the icing, but if the mailing 
side is as good as the present setup, or better, then that sounds 
interesting ...
