Mailing lists have some very good properties, but face2face interaction has other good properties to offer. We need both.

Indeed. As Rob Blokzijl repeatedly said, we have RIPE meetings (=> discussion), not RIPE conferences (=> listening to presentations). FWIW I'd like to see more interaction and discussion during the sessions. Though I realise that's difficult in a room of 600+ people - more so when 3-4 Old Farts hog the mike. PS: Apologies for using a meaningful and relevant Subject: header. It would be nice if we all did that and also kept it in mind for the conversations about electronic discussion tools. Maybe this is an appeal to re-invent netnews. :-)
