I usually find when a group moves to a web forum, despite my best
intentions I stop participateing. I just don't remember to go to the
forum, unless I'm haveing a big problem. Even newsgroups I only
remember every few days.

Here are my concerns, in no particular order:
1.) I don't want to have to go use some third application to read my
OpenSRS discuss-list messages. I already have a mail program, I have no
desire to now also fire up an NNTP reader or a web browser to get
messages which were quite happily landing in my inbox. Not all of us
use BloatWare mail applications that try to speak every protocol on the
face of the planet.
2.) This gives the ability for OpenSRS to simply say "Oh, I wish that
topic had never been broached" and delete the entire thread "poof" ...
gone, into the ether, with no copies remaining except for whatever
local caches exist on various peoples' workstations. With e-mail, there
is a guarantee that *everyone* has a copy, readily available until they
delete it themselves.
Etcetera, etcetera, the thread grew quite big back then. :)
Good old times...
