Thanks for sharing your 'feelings', Sascha. I agree that this list works very well.<br><br>Don't worry, I won't be moving my blog here anytime soon ;)<br><br>I don't think I have a problem distinguishing blogs and mailing lists. In fact, I mostly agree with your definitions, but I'm not the first to use the list as a means to talk to the community about something not technical, and the fact that I received a handful of responses proves that not everybody is opposed to that. After all, the question was about the list itself. I will of course not abuse this mechanism and will take into account what you have said.
<br><br>Thanks very much.<br><br>Carlos de la Guardia<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>This list is here to help with technical problems. In general I would
<br>say it's very good at it. It doesn't really seem to exist for community<br>building. If it was here for that, I wouldn't be here and I believe many<br>others the same.<br><br>...<br><br>> That's why I decided to see

<br>job than a mailing list. If you haven't understood that, you have a<br>problem with blogging and/or mailing lists. People write on their blogs<br>when they want to express their oppinion or when they want to drop a<br>
technical article. They write on the mailing list when their blog<br>software breaks down.<br><br>So I "feel" your weighting up of mailing lists and blogs is invalid :-)<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Sascha<br><br><br>
