Debian is not a PRIVATE organization. Debian wants to be accessible,
via mailing lists or Usenet, without treating Usenet posters as second
class citizens, or diminishing the convenience of Usenet access.
If it was my decision to make, I would abolish the mailing lists, and
run Usenet only. Many users pulling is more efficient than one server
pushing.
