I get this cocoa-dev list as a digest about 20 kB long a couple of

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.
