[meteorite-list] What doesn't this list use an online forum format?

[David & Kitt Deyarmin]

I'm not trying to stir up trouble or incite arguments I'm just curious.

Email lists are by today's standard an antiquated venue for discussing any 
hobby.

They have many limitations and can be taxing on your email inbox, which is 
why I receive the Dailey Digest. I delete them and do all of my reading from 
the archives.

Online forums are easier to use and the posted info is easier to track.

Plus it's easy to ignore topics that you're not interested in without having 
to pick through a bunch of emails.

However, I would like to understand why so many of the members here prefer 
not to use forums.

I want to make it clear that I'm not trying stir up trouble, I'm just trying 
to understand the aversion most of this list has to using a forum.
