There's nothing wrong with a site where one can go and use something
like Google to find individual posts. A lot of lists I'm on have
searchable list archives accessible that way, often provided by the list
server software they're using. That doesn't require use of a forum.
I second that.
LAD/LAU were the first mailing lists I subscribed to. Before, I used
and knew only forums.
And I can say, mailing list is a MUCH more effective (and more
personal: you send a letter to many people, instead of writing
something on a board that everybody can see).
