In my opinion the Squeak community is still well-served by this mailing
list.  To recap the reasons I can recall regarding why we've stuck with the
mailing list:

	1)  Newsgroups and newsfeeds are not reliable.
	2)  Most mail clients have facilities for automatic movement of
messages into folders/directories/whatever.
	3)  Many people (many includes: self) can't access newsgroups which
are not carried on the main news backbone because of firewall restrictions.
	4)  Email is more immediate.  I see messages within minutes of their
having been sent to the list, while my newsfeed (when it's working) can lag
by hours and/or days.

FWIW I prefer sticking with the mailing list.  Your mileage may vary.
