receiving numerous e-mail messages each day, especially since the list has
grown to nearly 1000 subscribers.
I agree that the many email messages can be a problem, but I solved it by
setting my options to "digest". Now I have one big message at the start
of the day. If there is to be a gateway, the newsgroup should be
moderated. The level of discussion on 90% of the newsgroups is miles below
that of nearly any mailing list - on newsgroups the signal gets lost in
the noise (for an example, look at sci.archaeology, which is almost
exclusively devoted to one or two fringe topics, having very little "sci").
