Sorry, but there's no way I'm going to use the forum for anything.  Web
forums are pretty much useless for me.  There are two major reasons:-

    I'm on about 60 mailing lists, if these were all forums I'd spend
    all of my time opening and closing web sites, logging in, etc.  With
    a mailing list (or newsgroup) all of my list messages arrive in one
    place and I can read/ignore them all very quickly.

    I have to learn lots of different editing interfaces if I use
    forums, with E-Mail (or newsgroup) I get to use the *same* editor
    for every group and can thus edit/reply efficiently.
