Has anyone thought about doing a multi-threaded discussion forum on a web
page? This would answer the concerns voiced here and allow for unlimited
conversation by interested parties on particular topics without disturbing
everyone else. It would also archive all conversations so people could look
there rather than saving mails.

Do we know how many emailers have browsers and how many don't? If there are
enough browsers out there then the discussion forum would be a good way to
go, otherwise we obviously would not want to alienate a proportion of the
ultimate community. Maybe we should consider the forums for 'official'
debates at least as those involved are likely to be more technically literate? 

Anyway, food for thought,
