I followed this list via Usenet for the longest time before I realized it was also accessible as a "mailing list." My question is, how common is it for mailing lists to be accessible via Usenet?
The following is from http://www.gmane.com/ .Note the 12,120 mailing lists subscribed.
Gmane is a mailing list archive. Any public mailing list can be carried by Gmane, but the vast majority of the lists here deal with free software. For more information about the project, read the about page. There are currently *12,120 mailing lists* subscribed to Gmane, with a total of 94,461,335 messages.
This one is the only one that I use that does this. I also think this is (partially) some of the reason for the confusion for some of the readers.
Why would it cause confusion? Works well for me and anyone else using gmane.
Related, of all of the mailing lists I belong to, this is the only one where people who are NOT subscribed can send and post messages. This makes no sense to me whatsoever.
