It is *not* just resistance to change.  I can navigate email or usenet far
faster than a website.  More importantly, it's part of my ongoing mail
feed, and I don't have to specifically look.  I have very low volume lists
(a few a year), and lists with volume that dwarf this one.  At the moment,
I'm months behind on most of my favorite fora, and current or nearly so on
all but one of my listserves (save one which is filtered).

I haven't made it to usenet in over a year, I think.

And the ability to filter email or usenet is head & shoulders above any
forum software I've ever seen.
