There are advantages and disadvantages to a mailing list.

The biggest advantage is that there is very little preparation necessary
for startup.  Just start the list and start the list and start eMailing.

Some disadvantages to a mailing list is that if there are hundreds of
messages a day, you get hundreds of eMail in your mailbox.  This can
be inconvenient at times.  Someone has to maintain the list, especially
if its moderated.

Plus, don't forget that some international users have to pay for each
eMail, whether they read it or not!

Some things to consider.
