I prefer a mailing list. Look at libernet vs.
alt.politics.libertarian.  Libernet has flames occasionally,
but it is mostly interesting discussion/announcements. A.p.l is
a pit. However, the market does not have to be limited to only
one answer. If some people want a newsgroup fine. No harm done,
as the list will never be gatewayed with it (the ExI list, not
this one).

p.s. I love Perry's organization line - Partnership for an
America Free Drug. Let me know when the drug is engineered.
