You're very mistaken, sir.  I know because I routinely get email from
people who are using usenet to read the lists.  (I can tell because
instead of a cc: to the list, there's a Newsgroup: header.  It's fairly
obvious to me because when I reply, I find I have to create a cc:
manually.)  One example of a fairly well-known contributor who does it
that way is the guy who posts as Andrew @ Supernews ... you want to cut
him off?
