Hi Piotr,
No - it's a nuisance. In this instance, it's an isolated nuisance - one VPS host in OVH.net which may be misconfigured, accidentally
or purposefully. Listmasters are aware - several of us have contacted them. It's an annoyance (much as when old-style spammers used
to harvest email addresses to apparently send spam from): it will go away again.
Forums work for some people, they don't for others - people have very different styles. Email is fairly readily mirrored, very searchable,
compresses well and the mailing lists are threaded. I can find mailing list postings from 23 years ago fairly readily - I can't find
posts on some forums from three months ago. As ever: Your ideal solution may be somebody else's hell (and vice versa) and people can argue
merits either way until they're blue in the face with no absolute conclusion.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
