Yes, and yes again.
Switching to Yahoo or Google or whatever would, I think, see many of us
gone. Receiving this list in digest format is by far, for me anyway,
the
best way to keep up with what is going on. I download a few emails, and
I
have the entire day's traffic. As Oerjan said, I can read offline at my
leisure.
I'm biased - I don't like fora much, and think it would be sad to see
this
(excellent) list go the way of a forum. As a supplementary tool, for
posting pictures and whatnot, perhaps. But not to replace the list.
