I never managed one, but maybe mailing lists are easier to set up and
easier to maintain/moderate.
We should listen to what listmasters have to say in this regard.
Mailing lists have LOTS of advantages:
- as noted - stuff comes to you
- most folks understand mailing lists - USENET is not as common or
familiar as it once was
- USENET has fewer access controls (absent moderation, anybody can post,
and there's really nothing tying an email address to someone's message)
- USENET servers are a bit more arcane to administer than list software
On the other hand, USENET is great when it comes to message threading,
searching, and so forth.
