I think you can't compare mailing lists and web forums this way. They are
different kind of medium. Both are good solutions, but for different problems. I
can't imagine people doing serious discussion on forums, and at the same time I
can't imagine MB newbies asking questions why this and that doesn't work on
mailing lists. No-subscribe-MLs would help in this, but I'm not sure how much
would be people not used to mailing lists able to keep addresses in CC, etc.
