Both mailing lists have public archives ( discussions is on
http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/discussions/2011-May/thread.html). Thus, it
is enough to point that a live discussion goes on there, and those who wish
to read opinions which were already voiced can do so easily. No need to
copy-paste. This is the beauty of the online archive, which behaves like a
forum (pull-based, upon request) as opposed to the push-based mailing list.
