I am subscribed to about 25 mailing lists.  I'm very grateful that I can 
aggregate all of it in a central place under a single interface (i.e. my 
mail client).

I use one BB forum on occasion, for discussion and support of Mozilla 
products.  I can understand using a forum in that situation, as many 
participants are normal or casual computer users that don't necessarily 
have a technical background.  In contrast, most or all of the people who 
use Lua at the level of this list's discussion are software developers.
