I also much prefer the email approach. There are a lot of issues that come up
in a timely manner through ordinary discussions and are very helpful in my day
to day work. I DON"T want to have to search thru a news reader. That is boring
and often is so old by the time I get to it, is not useful. Fo those who want
this feature, let them generate it and maintain it outside of the present
arrangement.
Thanks
