I'm using Newsflash to attempt to participate in the CW newsgroups, but it doesn't seem to work that well. I've also tried another that wanted money but sucked, and the author wasn't very helpful.

What other options are there for participating in this group? I'd really rather it be a mailing list, despite the fact that I think news *can* be much better than email, it's just not very reliable. Are there any decent news/email gateways (one that presents a group as a list to me).

I'm on Mac OS X.

tia,
Rick
