I would prefer to have it on the newsgroups.  I can subscribe, but
because of the nature of my account, I have to pay for each and every
piece of e-mail I receive (based on size).  With the FML, that can be
a nice chunk of my monthly bill.  The usenets are free.
 
I'm sure everyone on this group is intelligent enough to recognize
flame-bait posts and not let some neanderthal rupture the group.
 
It would be nice if the fml could also be posted once a day to a usenet
group...
 
just my .02
