This is exactly it.  In my opinion, having different interfaces to the 
same information/list would be great.  If the goals are to have the most 
participation and active membership, having different methods to 
communicate is best.  One of the benefits of Yahoo groups was there was 
a web interface and options for the mailing list.  I understand it's 
debatable how usable either was, but the idea was there.  Absolutes of 
one or the other just limits use for someone.

With that said though, as mentioned, there are ways to have a web forum 
also be a mailing list, etc.

Think about it in another sense, the way mainframes are used today 
still, some people prefer to have the terminal directly to it for 
efficiency, others will interface a web UI to input/output data via a 
pretty mobile friendly form, or even have modern APIs translate to it.  
In the end, the core information is still in one place and can be used 
by many methods.
