Sorry for picking on James' reply as several others have said similar, but why is it people who have a legitimate preference for something other than email get condescended by those people who do prefer email? Personally, I find the use of email overwhelming for lists of the volume level that this HTML list has. Assuming email is the only way to communicate on this project I know for certain I will be far less able of provide useful input and will often be asking questions about issues that have already been discussed than if some other more structured method would be made available.
