Yes, it seems a bit difficult to decide what is the best for all or at least the majority of our users.

Maybe someone has some more agruements about MLs vs. forums.

Idle curiosity: I wonder how many people who offer support do it in both 
places: mailing list and forum, or more or exclusively in one or the other.

Personal observation (not intended as a generalization): my preferences vary 
with whether I'm a consumer or a provider of support services. As a consumer, I 
generally prefer a forum, but as a provider I prefer an email list. Perhaps I'm 
just weird, or set in my ways... :-)

I can understand Rob's arguement that we have to split ourself to give support 
for mailing list(s) and forum in parallel. However, I believe that it would be 
an advantage when the normal, average user has a choice where to go to get an 
answer.

There is no one-size fits all here.  We should have the list and the forum. 
They are not redundant.  Some people will use both.

And there are users that try to avoid mailing lists. ;-)

At the end it seems the best solution is still to go 2 ways: ML and forum.
