IMO, a mailing list, be it individual or digest format, is much easier
to use than a web based list.  It can be filtered, archived for a
website, notification is positive, you can read it later, etc...

While the web is great for many things, it's not good as a mailing
list replacement.  IMO, of course.

The key to a good mailing list is either a moderator or conscious
memebers who post signal, not noise.

Of course, a good mail reader that bursts digests helps a lot too.  I
use MH (now nmh)...
