In lists.freebsd.hackers you write: >By two staging all list implementations: Say, does this look like news or not? Maybe we should actually consider using news as the "backbone transport" between the various exploders? Locally they then can be sent out to the end users via mail or be kept as newsgroups at larger sites (ok, I'm using newsgroups here locally, so I'm biased, but then, its so much easier to look through the lists if they are a) in separate newsgroups b) subjects are threaded). This would of course be done by explicit nntp links between e.g. freefall and the local exploders, keeping delays down to what we're used from mail.
