In response to Mr. Clements, I would like to point out that I did not
say that, or anything quoted in his post.  Please don't do that.

I don't know if email per se is necessarily unsuitable, not knowing
enough about the project.  Not many email data stores will be up to it,
though, and the ones that are won't be cheap.  I'd go NNTP first, but
I don't know how much NNTP server software there is out there.
