NO!  That's capital N, capital O, exclamation point.
Everytime I see a mailing list convert to a newsgroup there is a sudden
increase in garbage postings from drifters and a decrease in meaningful
input from list members.  I also prefer having the discussions
automatically show up in my mailbox rather than having to physically go
retrieve them from a newsgroup.  That's my $0.02 worth...
