Hi, I've never understood why mailing lists are so popular; surely NNTP is a far better and more efficient way to discuss things, plus it has the advantage of being able to manage archives and reduce bandwidth? Why would anyone want to send out and receive 100s of emails when you could simply view headers on a server and choose the ones of interest?
