Is this the way most people feel?
I personally find message boards so much more conveinent than mailing
lists.
I'm just wondering if a board were put up for the same purposes this list
serves, if anyone would use it............

Yes. The reason is probably that the system was originally designed
for e-mail (maybe Kim will chime in here?) For the rest I think a
board could be good as a complement. Myself, I prefer separate mails
so I can set up automatic filtering and act quickly (reading,
deleting or archiving). Separate mails can be handled very
efficiently if the local e-mail client is set up for that. Even
though I never read all posts I like to keep a an eye on the total
mass of subjects so I know which threads are up. And sometimes I like
to save time by offline reading where no internet connection is
available - no message board will ever match that!
The Logic User Group, another list I have been reading for long time,
has recently found a way of keeping an online message board that
automatically duplicates every post as mails to the list. The
implementation is not perfect though, because such mails all appear
to come form the user "forums@logic-users.org" ;-)) no matter who
wrote the forum post.
