Chris, Given some notice, what stops anyone from joining the mailing list before there is a divorce between the forums?
Everybody has trivial access to an email account these days and many mailers allow incoming messages that fit a pattern to be placed in some names folder to be read as a group if one wishes. The difference would include less spoofing but also the ability to remove and that are causing annoyance here.

But I'm aware that there are a number of good people who currently use the newsgroup, and those people would then be abandoned in the cess-pool.
