I would modify that to say "exceeds the time it takes to download the
emails" because I can cruise through 100 emails by glancing at the subject
for the few pearls much quicker in Eudora (offline, at my leisure) than I
could by clicking through all the forums on any website (and only in "real
time").

For example, I'm reading this now while my DSL is down.  If it was
web-only, I couldn't read the list at all.  But offline, I can read and
write all I want.
