GoogleGroups requires cookies to post and it's my opinion anything that
writes to your hard disk like cookies are evil - quite the opposite of
open source.
Also, unless there's a way to get msgs sent directly to your email, it
also means logging onto the web, to the site, entering user/password,
blah, blah, - not very convenient from a smart phone. Also I like the
ability to save key messages in my email for further reference as
opposed to going to the group list and searching.
