Guys I am honestly very psyched to hear there is interest in the newsgroup.
While it is not a moderated newsgroup, I think that with good "citizenship" we can make it a public forum which offers great information about our cars.
Also - it will ALWAYS be there unless they change the way USENET is run...so we never have to worry about it being shut down, etc.
I am going to load my newsreader now and get on there.
How about porting some of the FAQ's and also making a newsgroup FAQ as well? That would be a plus I think.

It is funny how important things are until they get taken away without your control (not a flame but rather just a random thought...)
