This email list is fine. We don't need a usenet list. That will only serve to fracture the community further. It is hard enough for me to use email the ways that these lists want. Adding a whole new protocol that I have no idea how to use is enough overhead that it will cause me to lose interest in this project at all. Do what you want, but be aware that fracturing the community is only ever a bad thing.
