Yes I have just been emailed by another list-serviod. They seem to have
the all the shortcomings of the GoogleGrouper. Can't quote. can't snip
sigs, can't keep the conversion on the newsgroup, ...
Yes, most ISP have dropped NNTP, but there are still free newsservers
out there including this one provided by mozilla. Since they are already
using a application that included a news client then why not just
subscribed to the newsgroup *directly* and avoid confusing it with their
email?
Could it be that "they" think that all the posts will then reside on
their computer hard drive, taking up space?? Or, maybe they think News
servers are like File Sharing servers, and everyone will be downloading
these groups from their hard drives??
