Why is Introspective a mailing list?
This question is hard to answer, but the most logical answer may be that the list satisfies the needs of all the fans, and so there hasn’t been much incentive to start a newsgroup or irc site, although there is now a PSB newsgroup up and running [alt.music.pet-shop-boys]. There is also the fact that Introspective is very much like a family with a level of closeness which may not be matched by a newsgroup.
