And on a forum, you have to read all the names of those threads you have 
no interest in.  With a decent mail client setup correctly you never see 
the threads you dont want to read, they are deleted.  On a forum, those 
posts are always there, and you have to wade thru them when searching 
for anything.  One more reason why not to duplicate work and make people 
look in multiple places to gain access to this mailing list (ie sign up 
at forum, then you also have to sign up at the mailing list as well.) 
And why do you want to have to add more work to what you have to do when 
you come online?  You already check your mail, and can have filters 
setup to flag any threads youd be interested in;  why add on having to 
visit a forum, and then wade thru the new posts of the day to see if any 
of them are of interest to you?

Do people not know how to use a mail client?  Do people not want the 
posts in real time?  Do people not understand that a mailing list is 
much more effecient than a forum?
