Certainly, no one's suggested doing away with the mail list.  Also, the
reason I mentioned just making an alt.* group is for speed, doing away
with the comp.* required voting, waiting, etc.  Scripts to do the proper
forwarding to/from the list/group wouldn't be that difficult to make
(there may even be some out there already).  Anyone who doesn't get (or
just doesn't like) reading/posting via the group would still get
everything via the mail list.
