That certainly sounds like some sort of magical forum.  Every forum I've
ever seen has been *much* worse than a mailing list in terms of repeated
information and random dribble.

I know I harp on about this sometimes, but I still think we should go
back to the old days of mailing lists when we got emailed a FAQ
automatically once per month.
