Hal,

Yeah, they did - we didn't widely advertise it, but I believe it was mentioned in the FAQ somewhere. You could set your newsreader to "mail.p2p.wrox.com" and you could read and post to any open list, as long as the email address you used to post with was a member of that list. It was a feature provided by Lyris ListManager in the version we purchased from them. It was somewhat slow in the latter days of P2P due to the number of postings on some of the lists (beginning_asp had over 10,000 messages, for example) but it was pretty usable on any of the smaller lists.

Dave.
