Tony,
groups.io doesn't change how you would interact with the list at all. It will send you individual messages or a digest, via email, just like mailman. You can reply to, or initiate a message via email. Your interaction doesn't change at all. The 'web based forum' is just an 'add-on' with a bunch of search and index capability, as well as the additional components such as a wiki, file storage, database. sub-groups, etc.
Agree. I wasn't referring to groups.io at all, that is a great service, and I am on a few groups there, including at least one from NW Digital Radio. I'm not sure I see a need to move though, but if for some reason, Brian decided not to host the list, groups.io would be my first port of call. My reference to "web forum" was more towards systems like phpBB, Simple Machines, vBulletin, etc, which ONLY have web based interfaces.
