mailing list vs forum was created by tome
It seems like the mailing list and forum are two completely different venues, or are they? I see many of the same people in the forum as the mailing list but I see people in the forum not on the mailing list or perhaps they just don’t post there… I assume this (at least apparent) disconnection is simply history - mailing list came first - forum more recently. Anyway, I am just raising the issue wondering if there is a way to link or cross reference them, or if there is some etiquette posting information on one and/or the other. I am sometimes tempted to post information in both places but then I feel guilty wondering if I am duplicating info….

It is whatever suits you.
I found the list had a high noise to signal ratio, as another user put it and the forum is rather more structured and to the point.
There are only a certain amount of yesteryear reminiscences and general rambling loquaciousness I can be bothered with.
Each to their own

Not sure if that was intended as irony but it made me chuckle nonetheless.
