Well, in that case the bad news is that most mailing lists are archived, 
and many of them are accessible from Google searches.  I just did a 
search for posts under my own name, and I'm pretty sure that at least a 
thousand of the 34,500 matching hits are mailing lists posts of mine.  
It's been over six years since I last posted to a newsgroup, but there 
are hundreds of hits from the last few months alone.

...sigh... I fondly remember sadly auctioning my Magic card collection 
on Usenet long before there was an eBay, posting new auction listings 
that had been painstakingly composed in vi, all because I was unable to 
focus on my college freshman studies.
