That's a feature, not a bug. Unless the group was moderated, I predict
the S/N ratio to be <= 0. Witness the crap in alt.2600.
The mailing list, as someone said before me, works as a limited
pre-screening system. Given the nature of the list's focus and
discussion, I think a newsgroup would end up being a stable attractor
for the clue-deficit crowd. Not something I'd find useful.
