Gmane is surprisingly fast to access, even from the northwest US. It also has
convenient spam filtering -- any spam detected is cross-posted to the
gmane.spam.detected group. And if any spam still manages to get through,
gmane provides an extra header with a web-link to report the message as spam.
The only thing I might object to is that I think it's fine to allow "newsgroup"
postings to be cross-posted back to the list.
For those who prefer to read their news via the gmane newsgroup only, there
should be a mailing list option (as I believe there is) to allow one to be
subscribed to the list but not receive any messages.
