I'll admit I don't miss the traffic. In fact, I had considered
switching over to the announce list, but then the traffic here went
down as Dave points out. I had wondered if there was a reason, but
didn't think too much about it.

As for this new discourse thing ... I'm not a fan of forums, unless
it's a community I really want to be a part of, and forum is the only
way to participate. I much prefer to have e-mails end up in my inbox,
than to have to login somewhere, and look through what accumulated
since I last checked in.

If this new platform has a forum to mail gateway, so everything would
just arrive in my inbox, and I could reply right from my mail client,
then that's great. However, I'm quiet happy with this mailman list,
even more so with the lower traffic. That's my take on things.
