I'm not quite that violent, but close. Or at least ones where you
_have_ to use a login on a webpage to read/write stuff. I want to read
CLUG on my mobile!

:) But there still is the point that sooner or later it will happen as
more 'yung uns come aboard. Same of course happened in just about
every usenet group.  In any case one possibility that has not been
mentioned yet is of course this:

   http://groups.google.com/

As far as I can see it solves all the issues on both sides.  I think
there is even a re-mail type service so that you can leave the
existing list as it is and have google groups mirror everything.
