There is a cloud of impact around the ML list, which I value highly. You don't get that on a wiki talk page.

Very much yes, yes and yes.  We (you and I, many within OSM who are nodding our heads right now...) agree with much or all of this.  There really is a lot of cross-fertilization — especially when it is carefully-crafted because it is well-designed by consensus — that happens, ACTIVELY, in OSM's discussions.

Some (like wiki talk pages) have their plusses and minuses, others have theirs.  As we find the resonant harmonies (sorry, I don't wish to sound especially "new age-y") — and look, you are pointing out that we frequently already do! — these become more apparent and refined.  I say it a lot:  let's keep up that good work.
