Thinking About Using the USPTO's EFS?

Are you thinking about using U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's patent electronic filing system, or EFS? Then, according to the EFS Useres Resource Page at www.patents.com/efs, "The single most important thing you can do is to join the EFS listserver. This permits you to learn of developments regarding EFS and you can post questions and answers about EFS." (The posts to that list were enough to scare me away from trying it. I just keep asking myself why can't we just use Internet-based PDF forms like those on the trademark side of the operation?)
