People learn quickly. Those who discovered GNU/Linux a year ago and only got exposed to web forums before might be totally capable of helping others already, and are more likely to do so on their familiar media. I didn't say that web forums are bad, just that we (as in, the Debian Developers who are much more used to mailing lists) should be in a position to monitor them and participate if we had our own.
