We are working on getting it out to the "real usenet" (of course with the usual moderation of non-subscribers and such, so it won't increase spam on the lists)."

Yeah, this is really cool for us people with a bad mail reader and a working news reader (NS 4.7 Mac)

Er, wait. Real subscribers? So to post to the newsgroup you have to be subscribed to the mailing list? I must be misreading, but, er, what was that supposed to say?

It didn't say anything about "real subscribers".
If you are not subscribed to the list, your first post will go through my mailbox for approval of your sending address first.
