This point has been mentioned rather often.
Firstly, anyone having access to email also has access to news servers.

Hello,
I am quite agree to keep the mailing list and if aprreciated a news server.
Butthe latters premise is that everybody has access to news server
(isn't?, as has been mentioned before by someone on this list).
In every case I vividly wish to keep this helpful list running!
Cheers
Thomas
Personally I would prefer a newsgroup, however I think a mailing list is
better because some people haven't access to a news server.

I am definitely in favour of a newsgroup, if possible parallel to the
mailing list or synchronized with it. The newsgroup h
I would strongly prefer retaining the mailing list.
