People learn quickly. Those who discovered GNU/Linux a year ago and
only got exposed to web forums before might be totally capable of
helping others already, and are more likely to do so on their familiar
media.
I didn't say that web forums are bad, just that we (as in, the Debian
Developers who are much more used to mailing lists) should be in a
position to monitor them and participate if we had our own.
