I feel the same.
I'd like to know exactly what it is that people find so convenient about forums.
I'd also like to know why the wine list archives can't provide the
same convenience.

Two things come to mind:

 * Ability to apply a 'star' rating to topics (called "sticky"?) that
are enlightened and/or of general interest.  (I think that designated
forum administrators perform this task.)

* Ability to post under a pseudonym (without going through the trouble
of finding a free e-mail provider, creating an account, figuring out
how their web interface works, etc.)

  
People have problems with pseudonyms, I am evidence to that. People get upset with me cause I won't reveal my real name, and act as if I am discredible cause of such.
* ... What else?
