Posted to it twice this last week.  Never got any email from them.  (And 
of course, they never showed up on the list.)  Perhaps att.net has them 
blacklisted.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck.... If everyone here posted to/read 
from the "newsgroup", then it wouldn't matter if anyone actually read 
the list.  As far as I can tell, you don't have to be subscribed to the 
list to post there. 

Perhaps my real point is:  mailing lists are fine for a relatively small 
number of people with reasonably low volume.  I think the number/volume 
we have here is more than enough to justify a newsgroup.  I know I've 
been on a lot of newsgroups that didn't have anywhere near this kind of 
traffic....
