To a point; However, there's perfectly good reason to use usenet rather
than the mailing list. With such a high-traffic list as this, the usenet
form may be nicer (with usenet, you only download the mail headers
information on the first pass, from that you pick the ones you'd like to
read, and at that point, you'd download the mail bodies; it saves on
both bandwidth and time.)
