Fair enough. With OAuth these days, you wouldn't need a separate username / password, but your point stands.
I do believe sites have much better mechanisms for sorting and searching compared to the web-interfaces of mailing lists.
Therefore, my next question could be, "why are mailing list web interfaces so horrendous compared to sites?"
- mindcrime 15y agoI do believe sites have much better mechanisms for sorting and searching compared to the web-interfaces of mailing lists. If you're talking about using, for example, the web interface for Yahoo Groups or something, then maybe yeah. But if you're having the messages delivered to your email, and reading it with either GMail or a standalone client like Thunderbird, I think email wins on "searchability." I personally haven't found most forum sites to have terribly good search. "why are mailing list web interfaces so horrendous compared to sites?" Good question. :-)
