I followed it, even if it was a bit tricky.

  1) For most google groups, you can subscribe by email. I think this is
  sending an email to:

    [email protected]

  It would IMHO be outrageous to exclude people without a google
  account.

  2) I suspect that plain text is not just for old timers but also an
  accessibility issue.

  3) I read mail in plain text, in gnus.  I cannot imagine using a gui
  mail reader for lists -- it would take at least 10x the time.  I
  frequently see replies where intead of "> " ahead of the quoted text
  as it should be (or some other quoting style), instead the quoted text
  and the new text looks the same.  Probably in html it is a different
  color, or something.  This is not reasonable; email should have a
  plain text part and it should be properly formatted.  If tools are
  broken people shouldn't use them.

The next thing you know we'll be using discourse :-(
