Maybe I'm unable to see the advantages of a mailing list over a newsgroup,
but till now, I'm not convinced. ;)

I've read it.
But, I have no problems about bottom and top post.
I'm using an mail client and not the webmail service from gmail, even if I'm
over a gmail mail account.
Why?
I kind of can organize things around here, and have it all on one single
client, from meetings, to notes, to several e-mail accounts, all in one
front-office that is not "ugly" I mean, not properly design, I mean, not
easy to find what we want for, as google is.
"and you too can join us in enjoying and helping to keep this list well
organized"
That's why I have suggested the newsgroup. :p
"and just as it is."
The "just as it is" is not my way of thinking. Sorry. At least will never be
without a proper reason for doing so. ;)

At least in my case, Click over "Create new" or "Reply to this" it's exactly
the same one click. If I click reply to create a new e-mail, however, I need
to delete its contents with is unnecessary tedious. Yes you are able to not
re-type the initial subject, and you are able to not re-type the
css-d@lists.css-discuss.org when you create a new e-mail. But newsgroups
work like this also.
So, I don't get why "is Email much more convenient".
"Newsgroups are no more organized than email"
I disagree.
On a newsgroup you can easily search old posts/replys/e-mails. Here
http://lists.css-discuss.org/mailman/private/css-d/ , you cannot do this, or
at least, I don't know a easy way for doing it.
On a newsgroup you don't need this rules:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=OffTopic . :)
I know it must give quite a work to add a newsgroup and let him share the
same information that the mailing list has. But putting both systems to
work, could bring advantages to this community.
So... I have to insist on the newsgroup think if no one can give me the
right reasons why is a mailing list better then a newsgroup. (In case you
haven't notice, I believe it isn't btw. ;)
Kind Regards,
Márcio
