My mention of Usenet was somewhat tongue-in-cheek; I don't know if I'd bother with the list if it were moved to (or gated with) Usenet, as Usenet has become for the most part 100+ Mb/day of uselessness.

An obvious point. But you go on to say...

The good side I see to a move to Usenet is that it lets people use the comparatively better tools for managing messages [...]

FWIW, I gate all my subscribed mailing lists to local newsgroups because my newsreading tools are much better than my mailreading tools.

The down side is that Usenet is more or less a sewer these days, and some of it's bound to spill over.

The unfiltered list already had spammers and flamers. Would you expect nore sewage, different sewage or a combination? - -- Roy M.
