   I do think it's nice that some mailers were created to actually work with the   
   nodelist, rather than forget about it completely. Binkd kind of went off and   
   did it's own thing. Then again, not having to rely on a nodelist to keep   
   things up-to-date or working properly is kinda nice, too.   
      
   The best part I think in all of this is that we've had developers in the past   
   and present to give us choices in what we want to use. Whatever works best for   
   you, go with it.    
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
