If a website is interesting and active enough, it's best to share and
exchange there in my opinion. Email coming through all the time drives you
mad!

My active participation in a web-only community never lasted for long, but e-mail kept me engaged. But now I've switched the way I read this community from e-mail to RSS, and find that works fine. Perhaps the world is moving on. I know, RSS is hardly leading edge, but it took me a while to work out how it's useful to me and make the switch. Probably there are plenty of established participants who still prefer e-mail, and they certainly shouldn't be disadvantaged. But for the future, and probably to some younger and/or more technical people already, I suspect e-mail as a primary means of participation will look quaint.
