Fair points, the plan to address this is that we are moving to a new  
back-end to our hosting infrastructure that has unified logins.  Once  
this is in place we can make it so you are a "member" of the mailing  
list as soon as you have an id, although set to not receive mail, then  
we'll have a subscriptions options page where you can just check the  
lists you want sent to you via email, and the nabble forums can be  
embedded in our page directly.  It is not perfect but much closer to  
something usable.  I understand that some are more comfortable than  
others with different modes of communication. We are trying to find a  
balance between being able to serve the community with the best way to  
communicate for them, and us being able to actually monitor and  
maintain it.  A forum is pretty useless if no one responds or monitors  
it and already we are flooded by the amount on the mailing list,  
having to answer the same question the same day in both because  
someone prefers one to the other and having to spend time checking  
both is not a good use of time.  Do you think that if we better  
integrate the nabble forums into our site and list subscriptions that  
it would be a usable system?
