I get this cocoa-dev list as a digest about 20 kB long a couple of times a day. I have to scroll down to see the topics, and then have to scroll up and down through the jungle of text to find the relevant parts.

You can receive the messages individually, rather than as a digest.

I also used Delphi. Borland provides a number of user groups using the standard news protocol. Using Mozilla I can see threads grouped whole and in a natural way, and only need to look at the threads that interest me. It's much more convenient.

Why don't we move this list to a newsgroup?

It would be fantastic if Apple provided an NNTP interface to this list (and others). But I wouldn't like to see it /moved/ to a newsgroup because that would fragment the discussion, and because many people don't use Usenet.
