Re: [MacPerl] Re: News group

I'd rather not see the MacPerl mailing list turned into a newsgroup,
but that is probably because of the way that I read mailing lists and
news. I read both using the nn newsreader, so that the mailing lists
are threaded just like newsgroups. The mailing lists have the keep
their advantage of being lower volume and remaining better focused.

The only advantage to a newsgroup would be the added news features
like crossposting (when used intelligently), Followup-To, and Expires
headers when appropriate.
