Many of us on the mailing list (e.g. me) have used newsgroups. I prefer the mailing list interface. I must say that emacs/gnus the distinction is blurred. All the gentoo-user mail goes to the gentoo-user "group" in gnus and thus doesn't clutter up my primary and course mailboxes I admit to having very good internet connectivity. allan
