I quite like lists - they may be old-fashioned but in some respects they are
more convenient than forums, which involve logging in and may still forget
what posts you have read.
I also suspect lists create more activity.
Did you know you can access the threads at
http://lists.urth.net/listinfo.cgi/urth-urth.net ? That can be useful for
looking at older threads.
