I'm reading/posting via the mailing list. You imply (via "this list") that you're reading a usenet news group? If so, then the gateway seems to be working in at least one direction. Apparently, people have grown tired of the efficiency and lack of ads on usenet and mailing lists and have migrated to web-based fora where they can revel in the ultra-low S/N ratio, the AI hallucinations, the ads, and the massive amount of time you waste nagivated the hidious UIs. Or, Dog Forbid, they're trying to learn about things like programming lanugages by watching Youtube videos.
