[Twisted-Python] Forum vs. mailing list

Well, on the other hand I wouldn't be reading that anymore. A mailinglist has 
the advantage that it comes to you. I think the likelyness of getting an 
answer is much higher with a mailinglist. To be honest I don't think that 
storing the stuff in a forum will make the FAQ's disappear. People just don't 
search thru the forum, pretty much the same as they don't read FAQ's and 
search mailinglist-archives.
