Basil had this key word in his post: communicating

Members of a community communicate with each other. They do not only 
answer or ask technical questions. Yes, members of a community can talk 
to each other in private. But they also use public forums. The sounder 
list appears to serve this purpose.

It is so not ubuntu to deprive the Ubuntu community of such an area.
