I am not!  I just prefer things that are used as intended... call me a
pedant, but I'm not an old fart.  :-P

Well, alright, I might be relative to you, but still... ;-)

It is possible to have a bidirectional feed that enables users to
interact with the mailing list as they choose.  I'm all for that.

But I'm completely against the segregation of resources.

And yes, the mailing list will grow upon Vala becoming popular.  Growing
pains are useful things in a project.  If the traffic becomes to heavy
on the ML, then it will be time to split the ML into multiple MLs so
that each major topic has its own list (or, if someone puts together a
front-end, forum. Though I don't know why GMANE isn't useful enough to
serve that purpose...).
