Webforum suck. In Mutt I can go through the 200-300 posts of a day in maybe one hour, delete threads with a few finger moves, reply here and there, maybe save worthwile contributions. There are no distraction in Mutt, I can see as many mails or threads as I like, I can use my own filters, spam is no problem, in short: reading a mailinglist is effortless. If I compare this to the pain of a web based message bulletin, where every visit is another "how stupid is this stuff", I can't even imagine why people would want to use a forum for anything serious.
