Subject: Why not a news server?


> Why not simply set up a news server instead of this mail list. I find 
> the mail list deficient in several areas. First and foremost it's noisy 
> causing me to wade through all this email for topics I'm interested in. 
> Secondly there's no easy or convenient way to response to individual 
> issues (I get a digest of cygwin stuff emailed to me). Seems to me that 
> nntp was designed specifically for such communications and a number of 
> companies have set up news servers for such things.
> 
> Finally a number of times I receive a digest speaking of topics and 
> articles but the email message is apparently truncated and the bodies of 
> these articles are missing.
> 
> Comments? (I'm sure there will be some).
