On forums, all you see is the header for the discussion, and the number of messages attached to it.

It makes it much more difficult to follow discussions, because you don't know if there are new messages or not, unless you memorized how many were there the last time you looked at it. And even then, you can't tell whether you even read them previously or not, which a mailing list will tell you, because the messages are marked.

How hard is it to subscribe, create a folder and a filter? If that is too involved, I don't see how they can get involved in postgres anyway.
