I'm the newcomer here (and lurker for most of the time) but I can only  
second the opinions expressed in favor of the old arrangement. Isn't  
the public character of this list the very reason why we joined in a  
first place? Well, at least in my case, I guess.
The list is for me is the ongoing source of inspiration, like many  
others I also learnt a lot from just reading some threads and watching  
people exchanging their comments.
Switching to the new mode, which at the same time means major shift in  
the communication paradigm (I agree with this argument too), would be  
really disappointing.
