I don't agree ... the PostgreSQL community gets a fair amount of traffic from 
USENET through its gateway, *but*, we do have MAIA in place to keep the spam 
off the lists, so what we get to the actual mailing lists through it is only 
the signal, no noise at all ...

I'd definitely prefer to read freebsd.* newsgroups then deal with mailing lists 
...
