So you didn't read the flamewar, eh? On the lawsch-l, we have zealous
advocates for *both* fora- people who prefer Usenet because then the mail
is threaded and doesn't clutter their mailbox, and people who prefer mail
because they don't want to configure a newsreader for one list, or they
don't know about Usenet, or they want the mail delivered. The numbers
seemed about equal on both sides, and I don't see how one side
automatically deserves more weight than the other.

There are people who want both, so I want to provide both.
