I can't believe that *anyone* would stop their subscription to this great BB mailing-
list in favor of reading a USEnet news group.

And, I do believe that more people have access to email than have full internet
access. And certainly more people have time for email than have time to read news 
groups since one can download the mail and read it at one's leisure without being
logged in to the internet. If you're paying by the hour email is also less expensive.

While I would still not vote *against* a news group...you have all been so convincing
that I have come round to being in agreement with you about the need for having a
Usenet newsgroup.

We're in fine shape if we stick with the list we have.
