I like the data sent to me.. rather then looking for the data.. I tend 
to keep up with it more..

its also easier to pretend i'm reading email at work :)

>Why does the Linux community tend to collaborate with e-mail lists?  This seems kind of backward to me given that there is the rather nice real time messaging methods used made useful by various forum sites.  I guess with an e-mail list you don't have to have a web site host, but aren't forums really a bit more "user friendly"?  I'd really like to hear why the Linux world seems to stick to these mail lists.
