But it does work well, if it is centralised. de.alt.comm.isdn4linux is a
(both-sided) gateway to a mailinglist.
For me, it doesn't matter (I use gnus), but I prefer the newsgroup,
because I can cancel or superceed some of my braindead postings if I am
fast enough ;-)
Some things I expect, if there is a gateway:
- "Your question got answered two days ago. Why don't you read befor you
post" - "Sorry, I don't understand you. I just subscribed to the list and
..."
- People will start to forge their email address
- We get a decent searchengine for the lists (via dejanews)
Ciao,
Martin
