It's probably a matter of personal choice. I prefer mailing lists because they come to me, rather than me having to go to them. Having to deal with the list mail makes me interact more thouroughly with it than I would when looking down a list of subject headings on a web page. I often stumble across interesting lines of enquiry that aren't relevant to what I'm doing at the time, but could make useful reading later - so I drag them into an archive folder. I also think the business of having to actively deal with the constant influx of messages increases the likelyhood that a message will generate a response. That's certainly the case on lists where I know enough to provide some of the answers. Just my tuppeny bit.
