This is why I vastly prefer Usenet newsgroups for online discussions.
Usenet clients have sorting/threading capabilities in spades. So much
faster and more flexible than either mailing lists or Web forums.

I've never understood why so many folks seem to prefer e-mail and Web
forums. Perhaps greater familiarity/comfort with Web browsers and
e-mail clients than with Usenet clients...

Well, there already is comp.sys.newton.misc, but it's a ghost town
compared with Newtontalk.
