If it had been my choice: because I'd have to go to a forum every day (and a hundred others!) while email comes to me. I have plenty of powerful email search and filter tools right here on my workstation. Every time someone proposes some other medium for this sort of communication (forum, Twitter, etc.) my first question is "how can I get that in email?" I can't think offhand of any forum software I've used that isn't uncomfortable, inconvenient and hard to search. -- Mark H.
