Furthermore, it's no mystery that anybody over 35 is probably so 
stuck in their ways that no debate will change their mind.
And... it's no mystery (since I run the site) that most of us here 
use the list and the forums.   Doesn't really matter to me why or 
which one is more preferred.  As long as we're all staying in touch 
for a long time to come, all is good.
