I'm sure you're not alone, but I'm equally sure that there are many
people like me whose participation would be crippled by any switch to a
forum. And I don't use an emacs mode for my email, nor have I written my
own Lisp.

Given the growth in traffic on haskell-cafe, perhaps offering a forum
*as well* would be a reasonable thing to do. There are now enough people
around that having multiple venues for discussion wouldn't be too
damaging.
