Bob,
Counterpoints:
    * Very few of us have enough time to sit in the forums and refresh
      the pages every few minutes.
    * Monitoring a forum gives you this capability, but without the
      advantages of a mailing list. No threading is done for monitored
      messages.
    * Replies are linked with the non ssl page, so you have to modify
      the url if you're logged in to SourceForge.net.
    * Unexpected wrapping of code when posted to the forums.
    * Threaded archives are available for the mailing lists.
