Threaded Message Forum
Forgive my naivety, but why isn't a threaded message forum used in leiu of the
email distribution list?
Historical Precedent?
Tradition?
I can respect either of those reasons, but was curious just the same.

Email distribution lists are far more easily accessible by
a wide range of people. In other words, they're better.
Do you not use a mail client that does adequate threading?

It has been proved in practice to be effective this way, don't fix what
