Just to agitate the fecal material by bringing up a previous
discussion around a bulletin board for Statalist
[ http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-01/msg00033.html ].
Posts on a bulletin board are explicitly threaded, always available,
searchable, and so on.
The threading function in various mail readers and the archive is fair
in trying to rejoin same-subject responses, but it is basically
playing a guessing game without the original response-headers.
Attempting various bits of trickery may make congruency better, but a
mailing list is not really the tool for the job regardless of how many
FAQs you throw at it.
