An advantage that the web forum adds is that it sorts threads by date of 
most recent posting, rather than first post. (I wish Thunderbird had 
that option.) Another is that it's both portable (thin-client) and 
personal (keeps track of read/unread via your username).

I'll keep using the mailing list, myself; I'm just trying to answer your 
question.
