I couldn't have put the above better myself, so all I can say is that I 
agree with them
100%.

I have a link to the Use-List on my website; so anywhere in the world, 
anywhen, with any old computer (like one I used with an
Ubuntu live-disc in an internet cafe in Turkey 6 years ago) I can access 
this with a minimum of fuss.

The Forum is, like many fora, almost too clever for its own good: 
frankly I cannot be bothered pondering down which "alleyway"
of discussion I am likely to find an answer to a problem, or down which 
"side-street" I should start a new topic about another problem.

Forums have so many advantages over mailing lists - they're easier to read, they're easier to search, you can access them from anywhere, I could keep going.  I'm just curious as to why the best LiveCoders spend more time here than in the forums? There are people who participate in both - I see Jacque and Klaus in there all the time and I probably owe Klaus a case of beer at this point...
