A single channel is much easier to keep track of. Also, as Onno points out, the form of communication is effectively the same, the written word. Whether or not it is delivered via list software or forum software is for the large part irrelevant, except mailing lists, _as I perceive them_, have a slightly greater barrier to entry, which, IMHO, is not necessarily always a bad thing. In my limited experience, I have found that the average mailing list thread has a tendency to be of more importance and contains a greater signal to noise ratio over the average web based forum thread. -- /me says as I increase the noise :D
