[Xitami] Mailing List vs Bulletin Board.

[R O]

Well, I think it's a great idea, no matter how its done.  Though, I do have 
one comment about Usenet: there are many users that are new to the web who 
are trying to configure xitami for the first time, getting them to 
understand and for them to get to Usenet could be problematic for them.   
Keeping it to a iMatix or xitami.com site would keep it contained and easily 
accessable by all, as well, a knowledge base owned by iMatix.  Maybe the 
site could be mirrored to prevent single point of failure.

You mentioned an archive of all emails does exist.  Where and how can I 
access it?  Is it a seachable archive?

I agree.....snip snip snip.
