Yes, the sheer volume of posts is definitely becoming a problem (for me, at least).
As a newcomer I was stunned that this otherwise very sophisticated community was using an email list rather than a bulletin board. The shear torrent of email was impacting my mail program performance. Then I chased somes repies leading to earlier threads, and found bulletin-board stye access to our list at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/ I much prefer this access, even if I wish the window spit vertically rather than horizontally. A bulletin board has the capabibility to evolve, e.g. into multiple entry points. Are there statistics on who reads which way? Posting stats should be obvious with a little script, for anyone who still has a hoard of messagess at homne.
