I'm certainly not among "the best LiveCoders" or "in the know" but I prefer the mailing list because of TIME. The topics and issue that affect LC developers come to me (via email) and I can delete, skim, archive, or read as I see fit faster than it would take me to select the forum from a bookmark and read through the topics. Put simply, the mailing list saves me time in keeping up with LC development issues. Of course in that context, I do pay more attention to the Developer List than the LC Use List, but both let me know of issues (and solutions) other people discover that may affect projects I am working on.
