> Mailing list sucks.

I agree with this. I almost never reply to the mail list because I really
have no idea how to do it without top-posting (I subscribed to daily
digests). Simply, mail lists have only a single advantage -- everyone has
an email. No code highlighting, quotes in digest are a bunch of '>' symbols
and no threading.

With something like Discourse you can still use the old and good email to
reply to posts (like on GitHub) and even to create threads (
