More importantly, since newsgroups are publicly listed, you will start
to attract a great deal of spam. Many people have commented on what an
excellent list this is; how helpful people are, how quick you can get a
response, and how (mostly) it stays remarkably well on-topic. I believe
that making the list available via NNTP would result in considerable
degradation of the list quality.

Unless of course you need ANOTHER channel for receiving special offers
for passwords to all the free sex sites you can handle. I mean... how
do THEY know how many free sex sites I can handle???! :-)

Rgds,
