Re: how about using a bulletin board instead of mail list?

The mailing lists are mirrored to news.php.net. You can both read and post with your favourite newsreader. This is much faster and more convenient than a web-based bulletin board. Alternatively, the mailing list archives are available on several web sites if you prefer this, e.g. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general or http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/.
