Personally I would vote for a newsgroup -- much easier to manage and
keep up with. I would though vote against it being secure. Not all of
us can access secure groups through our ISP's. SPAM is much easier to
deal with in a newsgroup, you don't have to bother with it--just ignore
it.
Does everyone have access to newsgroups?
