I can see why forums exist - n00bs like them, it's a familiar interface 
in a browser and the fact that it's about a gazillion times slower and 
harder to work than an archived mailing list is lost on them. Well, 
that's just the way that is.

Mailing lists - we know 'em and love 'em. Nuff said.

The bit I don't get is interfacing the two. It's like interfacing a 
brothel with a sex-education class - superficially similar but when you 
look closer you see they actually have nothing in common...
