Regarding a WWW interface for UseNet..

Google acquired[1] many of the old NNTP news groups in 2001 from Deja News
Usenet archive; most can be viewed and/or posted to via Google Groups.

ie. comp.infosystems.gopher
=> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.infosystems.gopher

 or the mobile version:
=> https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/comp.infosystems.gopher

I seem to recall that original posts via Google Groups tending to not show
up initially in the other news servers until someone replied but that might
not be the case anymore.

As for my Usenet vs. Mail-list preference, I'd prefer the former.
