I don't use web-based forums, including Google Groups, because I find the
user interfaces unbearable. I save so much time by using a real newsreader
that the time spent skipping over the noise here is trivial in comparison.
Honestly I don't understand how anyone can stand to use web forums.

Apparently Google Groups can also be accessed like a mailing list; you
have to sign up for e-mails from the group, and once signed up, you can
post messages by mailing to the group address. Would that help?

I do agree, however, that a Usenet solution would be preferable.
