What you are describing sounds like a web front-end for the mailing
list, masquerading as a blog. What would be the specific benefit? I
think it would have the potential for confusion. It's bad enough with
poeple treating this like a usenet group as it is :)

Using it for the sake of it - no. There'd have to be a demonstratably
good reason to do so, above and beyond trying to be fashionable and
keeping up with the current craze.
