h list and forum would be my choice since I don't like forums.	I 
have neither time nor patience to "go" to forums (those I've been on 
before just faded away)  but many people like forums and forums might 
attract "new blood" so to speak since they have an active web presence 
unlike an email list which hasn't.

I suppsoe it helps that I set my email software up to filter everything 
from GZG into its own folder sorted by thread.	Saved as a txt file 
means I can read it offlline on a txt reader  (sitting in front of a 
computer all day is not my idea of fun).
