I'm another with a dislike of web fora.

They've always seemed much harder to use - whether to get a query 
submitted, or a response or to search archives. And you lose serendipity 
- with a mail list, you see a stream of questions/answers with the 
regular email and can leap in (if appropriate!), and fork a thread if 
necessary; with a forum, you have to make a special effort to look. And 
Effort is the watchword.
