Why did Apple choose to use mailing lists instead of usenet/forums/ google groups?

Because getting the stuff forwarded to you is so much more convenient than daily clicking through dozens of web pages? I'm watching a few forii as well as about 15 mailing lists. Glancing over 50 new messages in a list is faster than 5 messages in a web based forum.


I really don't want to carry a ton of email around with me

I don't know what's wrong with storing half a million email messages locally. It surely doesn't make your laptop heavier.



You might want to take a few minutes to set up Mail to your convenience. Set up one mailbox per list, filter incoming messages by List-ID into these boxes, disable the sound for list messages but stick with it for the remaining messages, use message threading. It can look and work pretty much like a news reader.
