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").
