Frankly, I don't see why we would want this with the existing email &
web features provided by Google Groups already.

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ws.powershell/

Now we have two divergent communities with the membership and
conversations potentially split in half. Or worse, the mailing list
will "do better" than the newsgroup, leaving it to falter and
newcomers will assume "Oh, Powershell must not be that popular because
the 'official' Microsoft newsgroup is deserted".

Don't mean to come down so hard but I don't get it...
