So, I like to get these other viewpoints too.

I have no objection to the cozyness of a mailing list, and I can figure out
how to organise messages, but I hate having to download and wade through 20
or more messages a day, and when I leave on a trip, unless I unsubscribe
from the group, then my server is killed by the sheer volume of traffic
generated by this list. In this day and age there has to be a more elegant
way to do this.

I agree with Sandy. Also, I'm puzzled by the argument that in a
newsgroup the posts can be better organized into topics. Your mail
program should be able to organize the posts any way the newsgroup
server can organize them.
