I've been programming PICs for about 4 years in assembly and recently started using PBP. I dove into it about a month ago and my current project is going quite well. I just discovered "this" online forum too and I'm truly impressed. I love the fact that contributers can attach schematics and code. Awesome!!!

However, before this forum I used the archives on the melabs website. Their search engine is great! Almost anything I've ever needed I have been able to find within minutes using the archive.

I'm assuming that the mailing list you are all referring to is the same list that makes up the archive. It would be a shame to have no more contributions to that. I run a search in that archive almost daily and I'm just about to start using the 18F series PICs (specifically 252 and 452). Being relatively new devices, I'm counting on the archive to help me wade through the "gotchas".
