It strikes me that these lists are exactly that, Doug, a just-in-time
(JIT) knowledge distribution capability. E-mail, in general, offers this
same capability, but with much less focus. A list service such as this,
where knowledgeable people hang out, enhances the basic e-mail mechanism.
Experts on call is one way of looking at it. "Caveat emptor" still
appplies, of course.
