Setup a mail to news gateway and you're done.

No matter how much I prefer the underlaying ideas of Usenet with
regarding to spooling and discussioning, the world has moved on:
bandwidth is cheap (except for the central source who has to pump
it all out), storage is cheap.

But your idea of splitting it all up (.linux, .freebsd, .solaris,
.hardware, .hardwar.te405, .hardware.te410, .stable, .current,
.Iamalinuxnewbieanddonnotknowhowtoinstallacompiler, .broadvoice,
.polycom, .sucks) is the way to go. Yes it means you have to
subscribe to seven or eight lists, but at least they are all more
or less on topic and you can figure out who has skills in certain
areas.
