That was my feeling too when I started using avrfreaks, now I think
I prefer web based forums because, unlike this cosy, almost family like
forum, you get dozens of emails every day and most of them you don't want.
I was on the PIC forum for a while and spend most of the day searching
through the dozens of emails for the 1 or 2 that interested me and deleting
the vast majority. Avrfreaks can get that way too at times so it's good to
just look at the forums that interest you and just look at the new messages
to see if any are of interest. For instance I hardly look at the Winavr (GCC)
forum as I don't use C...and not really that interested in seeing 
what questions
are put there :-)

>Is there an 'email' based interface to AVRFreaks?

Not as such but you can mark the topics that interest you and whenever there
is a new post you will get an email notification. All of your own posts are
automatically marked for notification, so you can follow your thread.
