It has been suggested before. I suggested it more than a year ago, I think, but it seems that some are rather vocal about their preference of this mailing list. Some have presented arguements for why this e-mail method is better but it seems to me that the pros and cons can be found in either medium.
I really wish that SuSE would convert this to a usenet group because it seems to me that it would make handling of these messages much easier.
disseminate information to a group of interactive users than USENET.
I agree 100%
I can think of two organizations that use this method; VmWare and Granitecanyon. Point your news reader at news.vmware.com and/or
Borland also uses this.
We can dream but I am afraid that e-mail fans would prevent conversion to usenet.

I agree 100% too! It would be just as easy to require a login to the usernet based on a verified email address. Some pgming tools I use are usenet based and it works very well. Another, UniversalThread, is a controlled access webpage which works very well. Subscription is $70/year. Drifters NEVER gain access and pseudonames are NEVER allowed. Very good site. JLK
