yes but it implies some issues that I mentioned earlier.

BTW, your thread appears to be a loose one. One of the thing that is
really annoying.

Well, that was my thinking too. I'm subscribed to several mailing
lists with a lot of traffic, and I found news groups very convinient
because I don't have to receive all the emails sent, and they expire
automatically.

But the down side I mentioned is really annoying. I think when I need
to post an article, I'll send it as emails to the mail list otherwise
if I just want to read articles, I'll use news groups.
