Time for Usenet R Group?

I probably shouldn't suggest this, because I can't volunteer to implement 
it.  However, I bring it up in the hopes that if (1) others agree and (2) 
the R core group think it a good idea that a suitable volunteer will come 
forward.

I am finding that the flood of R email messages is becoming difficult to 
deal with, even using filters, etc., in my email client.  Would we be 
better served by establishing a Usenet newsgroup?  Would that be practical 
or impractical?  Would it create problems for the maintainers of R?
