Not necessarily. It's just a matter of habit for me -- if the list is available as a newsgroup, I read it as a newsgroup. (Another reason is to reduce the load on my spam filter -- if I had to receive every message I read as email, that scruffy machine would experience sky-high load.) _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
