My view is that the move to web forums is a huge downgrade. Mailing
lists are vastly superior.

The thing that mailing lists lack is a central directory of their
existence. The discovery problem is a pretty big one.
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?
I didn't expect to get an apology, and wasn't disappointed.
