This is a good idea. May I suggest someone who is interested in seeing this
mail list in a newsgroup pick up on this idea? I, for one, have no problem
with the concept of this "group" as a mail list but I think it would be
beneficial to those who like the newsgroup forum better to be able to access
it in this form too. This idea seems to provide that nicely without forcing
a complete change of forum for those that are happy with the mail list.
