Samir;

List subscribers who don't like the brisk pace of traffic can subscribe to
the digest, and the archive of the entire list,
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/ goes all the way
back to <ahem> 1904 <g> so old questions (and answers) are always available.
I'm just not convinced a newsgroup would add anything of substance, even in
parallel with the email list.

Cordially,

Gary
