I much prefer mailing lists to forums personally, and if this list was
to become forum-only, I wouldn't be here. It's just too much hassle to
trawl through forums IMHO.

While I also prefer mailing list, I cannot deny the usefulness of web
forums, especially when there's lots of traffic like in this list, which
can lead to inbox or mail-box (as a whole) flooding... Even though in a
mailing list you also choose what to read and to pass, just as in a
forum, you also are left to clean your mail-box, which is not needed in
the web-forum... For not-so-populated mailing lists like the ALSA-users
one, I'd rather use my e-mail client... though for a list with the
amount of traffic this one has... I'd rather use the web interface.
