Because this has always been a mailing list. Because e-mail could be said to
be the "lowest common denominator" of the net: everyone has it, everyone can
send and receive plain-text messages.

There are Newton forums: go use them if you don't like Newtontalk. I'd
suggest the forums at the Newted Community:
