For me, e-mail is easier; it's always available. One address, always |
| 9 |
configured for communication, regardless of ISP or even geographic |
| 10 |
location. Usenet requires either a multi-purpose client (more |
| 11 |
configuration) or a separate client altogether. I also have to either |
| 12 |
pay for a Usenet feed or constantly switch according to which ISP I'm using. |
