Kevan,
If it's not going to be secure then why not just ignore the spammers now?
I'd vote for the newsgroup only if it's secure!

Personally I would vote for a newsgroup -- much easier to manage and
keep up with. I would though vote against it being secure. Not all
of
us can access secure groups through our ISP's. SPAM is much easier
to
deal with in a newsgroup, you don't have to bother with it--just
ignore
it.
Does everyone have access to newsgroups?
