There are at least two solutions to that problem:

- Have a WWW interface for the newsgroup at some site (this is common
  for mailing list archives)

- Have a mailing list in addition to a newsgroup. That way those of
  us who prefer a newsgroup can use that, and those who prefer the
  mailing list can keep using that.

There are some obvious pro's for having a newsgroup.
