My $0.02:

Why does someone who loves newsgroups and mailing list always get 
offended when someone fills the niche of a forum?

I personally prefer Forums for the simple fact I can hope avoid asking 
newbie questions by hitting the "search" button on the same site that 
I'm viewing the forum itself.  Mailing lists require other steps that 
don't always work - ie Google can only crawl the web so often.

Therefore this reason of being able to find info more easily alone is 
enough for me to prefer Forums over lists. Look at how popular in the 
AVR community AVRFreaks.net is over any AVR lists.

Is there duplication? maybe for a while. Will Darwinism mean the most 
popular will prevail and then duplication minimised, possibly.

Why always attack someone making a Forum?   This isn't communism (unless 
you are reading this in China), choice is a good thing.
