I'd actually be in favor of a migration away from mailing lists to newsgroups.
In the past we've had eug.comp.os.linux; we could extend that to add more
subgroups as needed (eug.comp.os.linux.advocacy, eug.comp.os.linux.sethology,
eug.comp.os.linux.is.lamer.than.bsd, etc.). Some of our membership does not
get the eug.* hierarchy, but this can be fixed by creating a local UUCP ring.
UUCP for euglug members would have other benefits as well - we could exchange
files, code, allow remote batch jobs, etc. I have been thinking of doing a
UUCP workshop once we get back to doing saturday clinics...

on Earth who knows how to do the cha-cha, but he won't tell anyone.
