Just FYI: Google Groups (groups.google.com) has been expanded to
provide this, too. So the same Google Groups
(http://groups.google.com) interface can be used to either read
newsgroups like "sci.design.elecronics"

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.design/topics?pli=1

...or internal mailing lists that only reside on Google´s mailing list servers.

http://groups.google.com/group/greasemonkey-users

You´re right about everything else, imho. :)
