I happen to disagree with every opinion expressed in that post, so there - it
is merely one opinion against another.

Mailing list is something that has worked for many FOSS projects for decades,
and has worked rather well. Forums are just bastardized version of mailing
lists, enabling and even encouraging bad netiquette.

But feel free to start your own Claws Mail forum. Who knows, maybe it will
attract many, many users, and I will be left standing here as a fool. :)
