You can already see evidence of gaps in communication.  I have seen
several times where a question is asked, and replies are not posted to
the list, only to find a later reply that _does_ make it to the list.
It makes it confusing when you have someone reply to an email that is
NOT in the existing thread.

Also, it's a lot like thumbing through a book.  You may not necessarily
be looking for a particular answer, but somethingg that someone says in
the process of working though a question may spark an answer to
something completely different for you.  That would never happen if the
thread is divorced from the list.
