what about a mailing list for HN community?
jacquesm: That would just fork a bunch of threads from HN onto the mailing list, without the benefits that the site offers.HN is currently 'pull', a mailing list would make it 'push'. I think one of the great things about the website is that you get to choose when you go there, a mailing list (especially a busy one) gets in the way of work pretty quickly.
