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?
