At the risk of piling on, here's my vote against a MapInfo Newsgroup.  

A threaded web interface would be great, the list is good as it is and
having a centralized archive helps avoid the problems with thousands of MI
messages that accumulate.

The danger of spam from public posting of email addresses in a newsgroup is
very real.  There are many members of this list who would have to post
using a faked header, or who would not post at all, once they see how
quickly email addresses are harvested from usenet.

Bill, I commend you for how you run this list and for your willingness to
seek opinions.  How's the Mapinfo-L balance sheet?
