Techwr-l Web interface - am I the only one using it?

I'm always surprised when I read people complaining about OT posts
flooding their mailboxes. I stopped receiving Techwr-l posts via e-mail a
few years ago, and can't imagine trying to cope with a heavy posting day
in my Inbox, particularly when it's one of those "am I a real tech writer"
or "my tool's better than your tool" days.
Instead I use the Web interface Eric and Deb provide at:
For anybody with browser access, I can't imagine a better setup. It keeps
my Inbox from overflowing, and offers a high degree of control in viewing
and responding to posts.
? New posts display in real time.
? Posts are listed hierarchically (sp?), making it easy to follow (or
ignore) the latests posts in particular threads.
? It's easy to post new messages or respond to others, via the forms they
provide - this means no wrestling with your e-mail settings to format the
text of your post to meet the demands of the list. You don't even need
your e-mail program to post via the Web.
In my offlist correspondence with other members, I've frequently found
they were not aware of this option, so I just wanted to give it a plug.
