I see. I've almost forgotten about the forum, because I only read and
write messages by mail (except when Topica has technical problems with
delivering the mail). It's also my opinion, that threaded forums are a
lot easier to use. But I prefer not to use any web interface at all.

What are "Blogs", please? I've searched several dictionaries (those

If someone posts a problem, I believe s/he'll get help soon, as I always
experienced, since I've joined the list.

And I'm actually somewhat concerned about potential splitting of the
community.

Those Romans had the saying "Divide et impera!". They did that with
their enemies. We shouldn't do that with ourself.
