Where is this to be found for webforums? I have never seen one. Or do you think Google is such a master index? Can you please pose your Google query that you think results in a comprehensive index of *all* webforums? Or is your comment nothing more that you noticing that NEITHER e-mail lists NOR webforums have a master index, which is a rather useless observation that would indicate that webforums have zero advantage over mailing lists in this regard, so what is the point of the whataboutism? -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
