[Typo3-marketing] 2 Marketing Newsgroup - open and closed

[Daniel Hinderink]

Hi Jean-Marie,

Sorry, but I think you overestimate the effect of the tool.

The newsgroup format vs. Mailing list is really only about different clients
and storage, it has no business impact whatsoever.

_IF_ there is some long term group with high output and integrated decision
making, then there would be a  reason for division.

My suggestion: let's wait and look at this option again in June, well after
the initial wave of interest after the snowboard tour.

Thanks

Daniel
