I still don't get why are Web forums so dreaded, but that's just me... I haven't seen a *single* reason why not to make it so...
They are really unhandy if you are interested in more than a couple of things. You certainly can't expect the people with answers to your questions to hop around through dozens of them just so you don't have to sort your inbox...
Unless, of course you still want to recieve 500+ e-mail messages if you are away of your computer for a day or two and could not cancel mail delivery temporarily (if you don't get the digest, of course).
That's not a problem. Procmail or most mailers will sort them in a jiffy and you can catch up at your own speed.
To each their own, I just don't get why people don't like the web forums idea...
Who's going to do that extra work looking for questions to answer? If a question drops in your mailbox and you happen to know the answer it's a couple of seconds to solve someone's problem. Who's going to bounce though a bunch of web sites for that?
