Yep - this is pretty much how I see it. I think the idea of trying a webforum in 
parallel is a good one - because some people greatly prefer that format - but 
overall I think an e-mail list is far better for a high volume group, and if HPFGU 
moved away from it, it would certainly lose at least one member.
