My net admins have clamped down on news -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Rochlin [SMTP:rochlin@mediaone.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 12:08 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: mailing list vs. newsgroup? Just curious (and forgive me if this is one of those holy war kind of questions - I don't mean to be flame-bait). Is there a reason this is a mailing list instead of a newsgroup? (Getting 3+ digests per day (unthreaded) is kind of cumbersome and doesn't seem like the most efficient system....) I just joined the digest list a week or so ago, and it's been very useful, but a bit awkward to read through. Many BSD releated newsgroups get significantly less message volume than this list.
