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.
