I think we should move this list to Livejournal. Then we could all post with crazy cat icons and bitch about our days and fill out quizzes to find out which Brust character we are! Um, anyway. While the idea of filtering out everyone who doesn't know how to use NNTP has a certain attraction, I'd suggest we keep this as a mailing list, since even technically clueless people can like Fantasy novels. On the other hand, making it a web forum would be even better for less technical people, but would make it more cumbersome for people to participate (e.g. one must visit a specific site and fill in extra fields, rather than just hitting a reply-to-all from the e-mail program they're already running anyway).
