I agree with Marc.  The problem that I've seen with newsgroups is that
it is too easy for people who want to start flame wars for fun to have
access to the group.  What's required to get a listserv often requires
that you actually want to hear info on the subject, as it's hard to
ignore mail in your mailbox.  So let the masses know! <grin>  Besides,
r.m.b hears about once/month and that I think has brought in some great
conversation threads.
