Wait, do you mean it's an *actual* mailing list?
:o
I thought those died out, like, 10 years ago (at least as discussion
forums - they work quite well for bulletins or newsletters).
NNTP would be a great improvement (why did they flame you for THAT?), or
even a web-based forum (shudder!) would be better!

Er, yes.

Er, yes.
When I originally joined the mailing list, at one point Don rightly
complained that messages from me made up 60% of the total list traffic.
Unfortunately, SMTP isn't like NNTP; it's not very easy to just ignore a
specific thread if it doesn't interest you. On a mailing list, if you
say something, *everybody* has to read through it.
I've been a lot quieter since then...

Somebody pointed out that a web-based forum forces you to use one
specific UI - the web forum. On the other hand, NNTP can be used from
*any* suitable client. It can also be easily archived and so forth.
Which seems like a valid point to me.
I'm still not understanding why NNTP isn't a valid solution...
(Most of the replies mumbled something about "Usenet". I have no idea
what that is or why that's relevant.)

Wogan seems to think it's clack.

You needed Google for that? :-P

Terry Wogan is Irish in case you hadn't noticed.
I understand that it is pronounced "cleek" but there is a word to describe
partisan opera fans that sounds like "clack" I don't know how it is spelt but I
don't think it is Clique.

Wikipedia claims it's /'kliːk/ (i.e, "kleek"). Obviously Wikipedia is
never wrong.

You can only know that sort of thing without something like Google if
you were born in a certain period or in a certain country or had a
certain group of friends and/or any combination of that. For me, I don't
think I ever heard of that band, nor that 'song'.
Yesterday evening and this morning I was listening to songs and music by
Hildegard von Bingen. I would not blame you if you don't know who that
is. She died a bit before you were born. Then again you might have had
the right sort of friends some day. But I am sure there are people here
that don't have to resort to Google to estimate how much 'a bit' is.
