I'm really ambivalent about this whole newsgroup thing. I've noticed that when
you put stuff in a newsgroup, it tends to makes the discussion less intelligent.

If people really need a way to handle the amount of messages, you can always
use something like procmail which automatically parses mail for you based on its
content.. into folders.
