This also matches with my expectation, that all new users will probably start
to use the forum.
To be pedantic, that's a somewhat bold claim. :)
I, for one, will always join a mailing list if available for something
I'm actually using. The only times I've ever registered to a forum are
when a) a mailing list doesn't exist, and/or b) I was only fooling
around with the technology for a few days but needed to post a question.
And universally, the forums of which I'm a member I have _never_ kept up
with all of the posts... maybe not even a significant percentage. I
keep up with all of the posts of _every_ mailing list to which I'm a member.
Not trying to beat a dead horse... just pointing out that the usage
profile is entirely different. The mailing list is more likely to get
dedicated users. The forum is more likely to get the cursory users.
There will be some amount overlap, perhaps favoring the forums for those
accustomed to hitting reload a lot. :)
