Not. Mailing lists are better suited for long term archival too(opinion). There has been discussion about this before. Newsgroups are not nearly as friendly to offline usage as mailing lists are. I personally rely on my local archive of the list to do searching almost as often as I turn to google. The only other software package I have dealt with recently that asked you to join a mailing list was VmWare, and it was an extremely clumsy way of searching for a problem. > On Thu, 20 Nov 2003 17:50:41 +1100, Adam Goryachev wrote: > > >I agree that a nontech list would be fantastic.
