I would agree that 3 lists is a good idea.
However, I believe that use of a newgroup is sort of a chicken and egg
problem (or Field of Dreams). If you build the newsgroup and announce it,
then THEY will come.
Personally, I do not like the "push" aspects of lists. I am forced to
receive all messages. With a newsgroup, I can scan the headers and decide
what I want to look at, not to mention it is easier to follow threads in a
newsgroup.
One possibiliy mighr be to have the lynx newsgroups on a particular
newserver. If the groups get active, then the newsgroups could be
propogated elsewhere, or turned into alt.* or comp.* groups. This
eliminates the initial overhead of setting up official newsgroups.
