LC-list vs. LC-forum

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi members,

though I am using LC for some time now, I never have used the LC forums,
perhaps because the first I found was this list and it gave me all I needed
- THANKS to all!

What I am asking is, what is the "right to live" for both parallel? Is there
a different use for both? Different people? Different topics? Isn't it too
much effort for you all to read, check and answer permanently both, the list
and the forums? For me it is too time consuming to read both every day.
Which one is most valuable?

Would like to hear your point of view.

Tiemo
