Boo Hoo, LEGO employees have to change email addresses if posting
officially or not. STOP THE WORLD WE WANNA GET OFF!!!

Have you actually tried this process to see what a PITA it is? I suspect
not.

I wasn't going to get into this, but why is it so hard?  I've done it -
you just set up your newsreader as your personal identity (since not a
lot of people use news for work), and mail in your "official"
messages...  not hard at all, is it?

It is very difficult indeed for those of us who don't have access to
standard NNTP ports through a company firewall.  Darn tricky, at that point.
I don't know if this applies to the LEGO folks or not, but it's something to
consider.
