Hi starc,
This subject title doesn't give you a very good "first impressions"
rating. But I don't believe in that anyway, as I was a pain when I
first joined myself (still am in a few ways, but I try). Nobody seems
to be discriminating you, but it's a widely based opinion that mailing
lists are far easier to manage than newsgroups, and have less spam.
This is the view on all mailing lists I participate in, and though it
took me a short while to understand, it makes a lot of sense now.
There are a ton of factors that make mailing lists better. Please
take the time to look at the differences closely, and understand that
there are some people who strongly wish to defend the mailing list
technique.
May I also suggest you don't use "cuz" and "u" rather than "because"
and "you". I'm not having a go here, so please don't be offended. I've
been through all the documents about getting along with people on
mailing lists (which greatly reduces your chances of getting into
flame wars and/or getting banned) and taking the effort to write
proper English is a large factor. Tempting as it is to type "u", it's
seen as ignorant by some people to spend less effort on the keyboard
to save a couple of milliseconds typing a full word.
Acronyms might be like this, but they have been around for so long I
think they are accepted IMHO ;)
You are quite right to ask a question, but you need to be prepared for
the answers - all public discussion groups need members with thick
skin. If it's highly debatable, people will debate highly ^_^
I'll snip the quotes - I think we get the gist. If you can handle the
heat of online discussions, please do so. However, I suspect you will
need to learn to tolerate those with a different opinion who may
express it harshly.
