When more than a few people or files are added, things fall apart and become a mess. Someone misses a CC update. Another person adds many people to the thread, even though most don't belong. Not to mention the coworker who starts a new thread about the same thing. Someone would call a meeting to fix the mess and start a new version. Email is great for one-on-one communication but terrible for project management. Basecamp helps makes it easier to manage projects everyone can do: You start a project, post a description on the message board, and let everyone else catch up.
