It would also help boil topics down to question and best response for the people digging into our topics in the future.  The other thing is you can respond to topics using email so people who don't really want to interface with the website don't have to and to top the features off it also includes a digest function wherein people who want a digest rather than a play by play can opt for that.

Proprietary, closed quasi-forum way of communicating because it’s not easy enough to obfuscate an email address?

No thanks.

-A. (understanding he’s a little fish here, but discourse seems a solution looking for a problem, and a wrong solution given the OSS-nature of this particular community)
