But each time you want to post a new message, you will need to go to the
forum, login, and then try to sent the message, which I don't even know how
accessible it is, because friendly it is not for sure.
While for sending an email I just need to press Control+N in OE and I can
start typing the message.
So the forum is definitely much less accessible and friendly.

Silly thought:
What if the forums were 'published' to the mailing list, and the mailing
list were made read-only? That is, every time a post is published on the
forum, it is automatically sent to the mailing list. Then, in the footer
of
the message is a link to reply to the post, which when clicked takes you
to
the forum in such a way that the user can immediately reply to that post.
The mailing list could be set up so that nobody except the forum 'bot'
could
post to it, which would make spam go away. People that have accessibility
issues or just prefer to get their information via their email client
could
continue to read things that way. And you would have all of the benefits
of
the forum.
Best of both worlds. Make everybody happy. I know it would make me
happier.

Besides, as Richard pointed out, the mailing list right here will
still exist, it just won't be moderated/managed by the people it was
before......
That would be good, because at least for a period there would still be an
accessible source of information for JQuery.
