Mailing lists. They've been around since the 80s. They solve all these problems. They are amazing. Use them.

I disagree. I might have been born a generation too late but I think mailing lists are terrible, horrible way to communicate.

My favourite is text forums - I guess shows when I was socialised online

text forums are just a web interface for mailinglists, or vice versa. google groups and others can (or could) support both, and usenet news too. they are all just messages. the difference is only the tool you use to display them.

There was GMANE to convert mailing list into NNTP archive. I was big fan of it. Too bad it's gone
