At some point someone is going to tell me to stop pushing Gmane, but 
nobody's got around to this yet so here goes:

If you read the TLUG list as a newsgroup via nntp://news.gmane.org 
(group name gmane.org.user-groups.linux.tolug) you don't have to worry 
about any blockage issues.  You get the convenience of a newsreader 
interface (threading is the main one), you don't have to worry about 
messages piling up in your mail folders, and you don't want to get 
messages for a while, you just uncheck the list in your news reader's 
subscribed groups list.

If anyone has tried this and not liked it I'd like to know why because 
it seems like a big convenience win with no downside other than needing 
to know how to use a newsreader.
