First off, let me say that, so far, I think this is a pretty cool ML, 
despite the difficulties as of late.

Nevertheless, as much as I like it here, I don't know if I can stick 
around.  This may sound goofy but... I've never received this much mail 
before, in six years on the Internet.  Not even close.  Today I had one 
hundred eleven messages in my box.  They weren't all from the list, but 
most were.

111 messages isn't all that much.  I regularly get 50-odd messages, and 
I'm on three ML's.

So I thought that, just for the hell of it, I'd toss out the idea: what 
about turning the ML into an alt. newsgroup?  With the amount of daily 
traffic, there's more than enough justification for one.  Creating it 
would be child's play.  Someone who knows how could set up a gateway 
between the ML and the group, so that the ML could still be used by 
those unable to receive the group.

What do you think?  It's just an idea.  No flames, please.  :-)

Yeah, sounds good, but why?  I like it just the way it is (spam excluded)
