Well, if you are online you can open a browser as well.

You can copy text and print -- it is after all also just text in the posts
in the forum when you use ctrl-c.
When working posts in forum software there are very nice features for
commenting posts of others where author and date is automatically inserted.

The one thing that I find really nice in forums is the immediate overview of
longer threads with forks on several levels. Its easy to follow the
discussions.

I have tried both forum and e-mail-list. Although e-mail-list can work, the
forum is so much nicer in my opinion.

Ah well, perhaps this is more the reason for not wanting to try it ;-).

Nah, for it to have any success it would have to be an official forum
endorsed and supported by the SQLite team.
