That's odd.  I find electronic mail far more convenient than netnews.
Of course, my incoming mail is sorted into folders automagically.

The main reason for moving this to a newsgroup should be to bring
the discussion to a wider audience.  The drawback is that newsgroups
typically have a much lower signal-to-noise ratio than we've seen
on this list (yes, even with all of the Linux traffic).
