YES! This would be the best solution (if there is indeed a 
problem). Mailing lists are not so good - a hassle to get on and off,
no access to DejaNews for retrieving old stuff, plus I prefer to
keep my inbox restricted to personal mail. I believe that there is
a fair amount of effort required to set up a new newsgroup, and wonder
whether it is really justifiable at this time. Would the
comp.os.msdos.djgpp maintainers care to comment or offer advice?
