Sorry, I worded that badly. I am talking about Bitnet's equivalent of newsgroups. Are they transmitted like Usenet newsgroups or are they only available as mailing lists. I'm not interested in Bitnet if it only has mailing lists. BFN.

They can be viewed with some sort of “news reader” application. I much prefer them to mailing lists as I can go back and review older messages (especially long running discussions) that are (sometimes) easier to follow rather than individual mail messages (and no digests don’t count).

I think Fidonet/UUCP is better than that. BFN. Paul.
