Personally, I am currently against it as well.  But I just thought it
should be discussed.  I'm kinda "proposing" the idea because I figured most
people would be against it.  Sorta like a devil's advocate here.

But what about the idea of having a mailing-list<=>usenet gateway?  Then
those who like the convenience of a mailing list could not complain,
because it would still work the same way for them.  Then the main concerne
would be the type and volume of traffic that might ensue.
