As i understand Mr Steiner it's not a matter of dragging the maillist  
community to a web-forum, but rather that, of some people prefer web- 
forums over mailliste, for what ever bizarre reason (in with Mr  
Barknecht on this one), then let them; don't stop people from talking  
anywhere they like, how they like.

As such, i also think a web-forum would be good for Pd.

Following that line - that right to talk anywhere  etc. must be a  
symmetric relation to make sense - i don't think there _have to_ be  
link between any web-forum and these maillists.

Last, i agree with Mr Steiner for the same reasons, that i't would be  
nice if that specific web-forum would move to puredata.info
