I'll simply reply about mailing lists vs Usenet, without regard to your proposal, which I might not completely understand... I'm on at least 25 mailing lists. If I had to go out to 25 different places to get my information, I'd never get anything done. With mailing lists, posts come to me: I don't need to go searching hither and yon for them. To me, that's why mailing lists are hugely superior to forums. That's also why most free software projects have mailing lists, not forums.
