To Russ Hazzon: The subject of newsgroups comes up on a fairly regular basis. While I feel that it would broaden the dissemination of ferret information on the Internet, I don't have access to a mail reader, and since I don't subscribe to a commercial service, I probably won't for a while. I think it's a great idea, but I've got my hands full on the FML.
