I agree in principle, but remember that you are really interacting
with your own tools, so if they are slow or inconvenient you can use a
different tool.  There are some email readers (Apple's, at least) that
handle rss feeds pretty much the same as email.   Google reader or
other feed aggregators make it easy to read a bunch from different
sources all in one place with whatever groupings you like - and always
maintain the same 'unread' view across different client browsers or
phone apps.   So, if the forums provide a usable rss feed, reading
them shouldn't be that bad, even though you have to follow the links
to read longer messages and reply.   Seems to work fine for the QA
forum, anyway.
