Sadly, this would remove the ability to browse the past posts in the archive. The archive is a great source of information and helps prevent repeat issues from hitting the list. Also, I often find the best answer to a problem is given long after the post, due to the right person being out of the office at the moment of the posted question. Given these reasons, I would be saddened to see a significant number of the NAG membership migrate to IM.
