On the first post in this thread: :s/more modern way than/an additional way besides/
Like Unix and Linux, the user group mailing list has stood the test of time, providing communication pushing rather than polling, plenty of room to write, and almost instant communication throughout the group. And mailing lists are just plain easy. Nothing about the mailing list prevents additional ways to communicate. GoLUG has an IRC channel, for instance.
