questions about our mailinglists

Is conglomerating mailing lists really such a good idea? There's
already an overwhelming amount of e-mail. While I realize there's
already been some discussion about using a forum, it degraded into
trolling -- I do think a forum would be a good idea. Not that it
would replace the mailing lists, but rather to work in tandem.
Mailing lists simply aren't effective for every situation; individual
questions/problems that may not interest the larger group, for
example.
Best Regards,
