I don't understand why having a web based solution needs any 
justification by technical merits.  If those developing web based 
solutions find technical adequacy in web technologies to meet their 
goals I don't see a problem.

I'll skip analogies involving lemmings.  ;-)  I will point out while I 
process most email with a dedicated email application I am very glad to 
have some web alternatives on those occasions that call for them.

John.
