well, i would prefer a newsgroup because i think it's a lot easier to
follow article flow than e-mail flow of messages that were deleted days
ago..  plus, i like to keep my e-mail clutter-free for important messages
only.  i mean, it's not a major inconvenience to be on a mailing list, i
would just prefer a newsgroup

as for the hierarchy.. wouldn't comp.os.opendos be appropriate?  i'm
fairly ignorant when it comes to advanced newsgroup hierarchies :)
