Newsgroups

[Skip Wolfe]

Can't get too caught up in the newsgroup vs. mailing list debate, but
thought -- what the hell -- I'd contribute this quote I just remembered
saving from another list that was thinking of going newsgroup:

"The difference between mailing lists and newsgroups is the
difference between inviting a group of friends over for wine on a Sunday
evening and putting a billboard that says "FREE BOOZE HERE!!!" in your
front 
yard" - Lazlo Nibble, quoted in the [then] current Wired (p49)
