"... Everyone" ... "average user" ...

From past discussions about forums vs newsgroups (eg. yahoo-groups) in
other groups my feeling is its much closer to 50-50. My personal
preference is for mailing lists (or forums only if they can provide all
postings to me as separate emails). FWIW: If setting up a new discussion
group I'd probably lean to doing it with Google Groups.
