Does this list want connect to other community ?
I'm already connected to communities I like.

Almost all README, IBM Guides and Redbooks point to this list with
subscribe commands. If "newbies" don't find this information, they
will not find basic info like "how to exclude this file", "how to
run an incremental backup" and I don't want ADSM-L flooded with this
kind of questions.

About traffic, are you trying to convince me that browsing your
forum with PDA is lighter than client email on same PDA ?
DIGEST mode is also a solution.

I'm on this list since 2000 and I like it, I'm mainly reader, not
poster because my bad english. I don't want this list change.
I don't want everyone points his own tools here.


Your forum is a good tool for browsing archive, but should we accept
it for incoming message without discussion with list members ?
Should we accept a kind of take-over (I'm IRC addicted ;)
Some people like forums, other like mailing list, don't be intrusive.
