Most of us who spend a lot of time on free software development, whether it be for a hobby or a day job, don't always have time for the inefficiencies a forum introduces, i.e myself. I feel much more comfortable jumping on a list and discussing things there. For me, lists make it easier to work out just what part of the discussion I need to start reading from when I return, and there are likely many reasons I have thought of previously, but cannot at the moment.

I totally agree about forum vs. mailing list too. It's a weird situation 
as mailing lists often seem "old school" to some of the young upstarts 
these days (people have said that much to me in the past). Personally I 
much prefer lists to forums, mainly for consistency of formatting and 
the fact all the info I follow is in one place rather than spread out on 
20-40 different websites all with different designs etc.

 From the comments so far on that forum, I'm beginning to doubt there is 
much point.

I'll probably do as JP suggested and write up my comments properly at 
some point.
