I HATE web forums but know people who like them. The advantage 
of a web forum <> email situation is IMO "participation".

Suppose 10 people who dislike forums are on an email list.

With mirroring all 20 could be talking to each other. Each using
his/her preferred posting method.

Lastly, some people prefer both. Eg. email from home and web forum 
posting from work.
