I think the objection comes in part from fear of losing the currently
wonderful signal-to-noise ratio.  I'd like to suggest that perhaps it
would be a useful service to digest the articles and post a weekly
digest for each list or them all together.  The folks who run the
AT&T 3Bx (not 3B1, but all the rest) list started doing so and that
has been helpful to folks who get news but don't have good mail 
connections.
