I have worked with a few mailing lists like Google Groups, but this
one seemed different to me.
I didn't even get emails when you people replied on this thread
because I had my Digest Mode On,
thus I didn't have an option to Reply to All.

Also, I would like to hear from you about what you think are the
shortcomings of your implementation. Would you do anything differently
if you had to do it again from scratch?
Not that I know of. You can post to the mailing list, but your draft
