I agree with almost everything you've said with the exception of the
word "fora". But, that's neither here nor there.

I find mail lists are far, far easier to follow. I too look at them as
an opportunity to learn new things since I see every message. I miss
98% of the content on web forums.

The one thing web forums do make easier is conveying non-textual
information. But, that's not enough for me to want to use a web forum
over a mail list.

Web forums and mail lists are different and different goals.
