    A1.5 Probably the easiest way is Google Groups, at

    Might have to tweak this following the end of GG :D

    Yeah, I now have:

    | Q1.5 Sounds cool! How do I get on?
    |
    | A1.5 You can read and post to RACC by email. Russ Allbery has set up a
    | mail-to-news gateway for RACC that can be posted through by sending your
    | post to rec.arts.comics.creative@eyrie.org or racc@eyrie.org. And you can
    | get posts from the group by mail by signing up at
    | https://lists.eyrie.org/mailman/listinfo/racc .
    |
    | But if you want the most flexibility, you're going to want to get a
    | newsreader program and connect it to a news server. There are newsreaders
    | out there for every OS and platform, and newsreading functionality is
    | built into Mozilla Thunderbird and Microsoft Outlook Express. You will
    | need to create an account with some news server. One common option is
    | https://news.individual.net . There are other good free ones for text
    | newsgroups, and feel free to ask on the group if you're not sure how to
    | find one.
    |
    | Oh, and if you just want to read, there's a very handsome interface
    | known as RACCowrimo, at http://wil.alambre.ca/racc/ . Stop by and check
    | out the cover gallery!

    but if anyone has any better phrasing or better pointers, please go ahead
    and post it!

    Indeed. I updated that, the URL for the mailing list archives, and the
