>From a user perspective, forums have a number of benefits: - Articles/writing can be organized more topically than in mailing lists. Sure, there are threads in mailing lists, but that doesn't tie together all threads on a particular subject. - Forums allow post-posting editing/reorganizing by the writer and by the moderator/admin. - Forums allow a form of communal segmentation if that is desirable. If all you want to do is hang on the K-12 forum, then you can hang there with others that care about it. - Forums are more territorial than mailing lists and that brings with it a few benefits to the forum owner. I recognize there are downsides to forums, too.
