I think that forums suck. I won't use it. I read a couple of
mailing-lists and i want the information send to me and not visit a
couple of dozen websites to get the information I need, to ask a
question or answer other peoples questions.

No, they are not. Get a good mail client. I handle a couple of hundred
mails a day. How I handle that much mail? Well my client supports
sorting, scoring and threading so it's no big problem. If I'm not
interested in a discussion I just press one key and it's marked as
read. If I don't want to read about a specific topic I just hit a couple
of keys and I'll never read it a again. I've never seen this features in
a web based forum.

just my 0.02Euro
