I do you favour and confirm that it is a very cool web interface to newsgroups. It is especially usefull if you have to switch between machines. It is good that they mirror the gentoo mailing lists and give them an archive. As long as you work from the same desktop a classical newsreader seems still more comfortable to me. However, my concern was why the Gentoo community doesn't make use of those cool features and officially only advertises and keeps a mailing list, that has no history itself for example and how this approach influences and limits the culture of communication.
