Cons - message boards are pull not push and they generally have very poor user interfaces compared to mail/news readers. They also have to be operated online which is a real problem for people who aren't in countries with flat rate internet access costs. A mailing list backed up by a web archive for those odd occasions when you need to go back in history beyond the amount of history you keep locally seems like the optimum solution to me.
