Furthermore, forums are found easier than mailing lists. "linux help" in
google will bring up more forums than mailing list archives.
In my opinion, Forums tend to have lots of questions but far fewer

Precisely my point. It is easier and faster, for casual users, to
enter stuff once in a web form, but it is much more time consuming for
experts to use that channel.

Of course, the experts prefer to enter stuff into multiple web forms to
join multiple mailing lists, and then if you delve into the world of
