   I don't think anyone's claimed speed of disposition as a criterion. 
Clock time and efficiency of interface are completely unrelated.

   So far in this thread, you've not actually rebutted *anyone's* 
arguments in favor of mailing lists and have resorted to tangential 
irrelevancies and veiled insults.

feature of web fora as an example of their superior features, I have to 
assume you've conceded the whole point.
