Sad but true. Personally, I use nice mail sifting software, but my
access to news is awkward.
Mail from this list goes to a seperate file and waits 'till I have
time to read it. My mailreader threads messages, is connected to my
rolodex, and has many other nice features. Alas, this is not common.
A newsgroup would be more high-profile. Mailing lists must be sought
out, whereas newsgroups are easier to stumble across.
Newsgroups are much more efficient for a large readership, mailing
lists are much more efficient for a small readership.
I usually prefer newsgroups, but I think I like this better as a
mailing list. I wouldn't vote NO though. I could easily go either
way.
