You can setup digest options (1 email per day vs. 1 per message) from  
mailman:  http://www.qclug.org/mailman/listinfo/qclug if you feel like  
you are getting to many messages.

That said i like google groups (RSS feeds, files section, pages, etc),  
but don't really see a reason to change or move to "forums".
