News groups are open forums. If all the action is in the *BSD mailing lists then that may be a bigger than you imagine factor in the differences in popularity. Drop into a Linux newsgroup and the the place is ahopping and abuzzin'. Drop into the 386bsd groups and you could well be in a church or morgue. Maybe someone should echo some of the lists to the appropriate groups. Why? It's much easier to hop into a group and have a quick look, than find, subscribe, looks, unsubscribe to a mailing list.
