I respectfully don't agree.

Web forums truly have the advantage of being an archive of previous 
conversations, making it easy for new subscribers to browse or search and 
partially read previous content at first.  There are a number of third-parties 
aggregators that do the same for mailing-lists, but indeed such an archive run 
by the mailing-list owners themselves is probably superior if it can at the 
same time be used by web forums lovers to read and participate in the 
conversation group.

There is nothing right in trying to persuade people that one's idea is 
everybody's wish and best for them all.  People of a certain age know that 
History, as well as on a much less tragic way, computer industry, has too many 
examples.
