The discovery problem is a pretty big one.Where is this to be found for webforums? I have never seen one. Or do you think Google is such a master index? Can you please pose your Google query that you think results in a comprehensive index of *all* webforums? Or is your comment nothing more that you noticing that NEITHER e-mail lists NOR webforums have a master index, which is a rather useless observation that would indicate that webforums have zero advantage over mailing lists in this regard, so what is the point of the whataboutism?In the context of the discussion, I expect the point is that Usenet had such functionality. This is a significant feature advantage. As are a bunch of other things pointed out earlier today.
Even a steaming piece of crap software like Reddit has search facilities. They may be buggy, but they're there. Nothing I know of that's even remotely similar for email lists.
