Certainly, it's a matter of personal preference, so discussing it may
be pointless.

My preference to ML is due to this:

I find it quicker to use ML in comparison to Web forums.
For the forum, I have to do a few extra steps and clicks, for ML...
I check my inbox frequently anyway.
Also, clearing & filtering ML posts is light-speed fast by simply looking
at subject lines and removing or leaving unread for later.
Plus, I have more control to categorise/label/search ML posts.
(FluxBB search is ineffective.)
