I totally agree. I run a local INN server and all the mailing lists I
subscribe to get turned locally into newsgroup postings in moderated
groups. When I make a posting, it gets mailed out through a filter to the
moderator address, which is just the list posting address. Makes handling
threads a breeze.

I still use trn to read and post too, as I have yet to find anything that
is as fast to use.
