Personally, the only reason that I like and use the mailing list is because
it is email. I don't have to go onto the internet, as such, and I can
download it all at once, disconnect and read it at my pleasure, rather than
having to find the message and then view it .. etc.

The newgroup idea was good, but the chances are that many ISP's won't show
the group (I have been on 2 isps, and can't find some groups), then you say
'what about deja.com', then we are on the internet again.

You can start up some web based beam list system, but I would stay loyal to
the good old email.

Hope not to sound too anti-everbody,,
Seamus Allan
