I'd say go for the open mailing list although I think if a fandom 
specific arizona newsgroup existed it would get a lot of traffic.  I'm on 
a mailing list with just a handfull of local fans and it can generate 100 
messages in a day.  If there is a mailing list created, I'd hope it has a 
digest capability. 

On a newsgroup, I hardly ever check Az.general since there usually isn't 
much of interest to make wading through the posts I don't care for worth 
it.  If there was an az specific fandom group, I'd probably check it 
every time I checked news. That would be a way I could pass on local info 
such as where Channel 3 has Deep Space Nine this week or where MMPR and 
the rest of the Fox kids shows will end up.  I'd rather have a newsgroup 
than the mailing list, but if the newsgroup doesn't happen, go for the 
mailing list.  I don't think it needs to be moderated since its fairly 
easy to put someone's name in a KILL file.
