I have signed up to the yahoo group, although I'm slightly mystifed as to why another mailing list is needed. I understand it would be a problem if there was a great deal of purely procedural CAMRA stuff being discussed here, but I don't see too much of that clogging up the UKRA arteries.

Also there's going to be a very indistinct boundary between the topics we discuss here and internal CAMRA stuff, and seeing as no-one's complaining yet about the volume of the latter, personally I'd prefer most of the discussion to take place here without us worrying overmuch whether it's too CAMRA-ish.

Bit of a chicken and egg really - I'm not going to ask internal matters on here in the first place.

As well as being able to discuss internal issues that would not be appropriate on a public forum, mailing lists offer a forum that for many people is easier to use than usenet. They also offer an opportunity to create lists for dedicated interests - running beer festivals, web publishing etc. Not everyone wants everything on one big forum. At the end of the day though no one is forcing you to use a mailing list!

Well I'm now signed up for both, in case I miss anything.

I suspect it will take some time for the list's (there are more than two!) to become established. A bit like this newsgroup which was VERY quiet for the first few months of it's life after I got it set up way back in 1996!
