Cons: still not everyone (esp. outside north america) has good cheap
connectivity for online reading/writing; browser-editors mostly suck;
the forum message store is maybe not-so-standards-conforming and maybe
not-so-portable in case you ever wanted to archive/search things
differently or migrate to a new discussion system; no digest option ?;
limited filtering ?; maybe resistant to external search engines ?; you
have to go to the web site; you have to learn a new interface (however
lovely it is)...
If you could gateway both ways between a web forum and
a mailing list that would be ok (as can be done with usenet).
