Non issue. I am on a couple mailing lists that get 300 or 400 posts a
day.  No big deal.  Email client sorts, threads, subthreads,
filters,and handles all by individual subject, concept, and date, and
sorted much easier than any forum I have ever seen.

I also have no problem if we go forum as long as somebody makes a smtp
/ nntp sort of interface for it.  Personally though I don't think its
worth the hassle and would just keep it like it is.  Then again, I just
don't do forums period.  Once a site goes mandatory forum, podcast,
rss, wiki, or blog they lose my participation and money (if a business).
