I would not have time to peruse a newsgroup and would miss the LUG 
mailing list digests, which I've saved as a reference volume of 
information. A newsgroup loses a lot of the personal nature of 
conversation that a mailing list has and the signal:noise ratio 
invariably goes down. Using Eudora or Claris Emailer, I find it just as 
easy if not easier to read the threads on LUG as I do any news reader, 
and I don't have to be on-line to do it.
