There are several fundamental differences. These emails are not one-way  
communications, plenty of people don't think there was a Big Bang, and if  
they do, it can hardly be considered news. Besides it is not only my  
personal preference: I quote from the sign-up to this mailing list:

======================================================

Just checked my newspaper: it doesn't contain a verbatim copy of all the  
news from yesterday in today's edition...

I am actually not super touchy about this kind of thing but this time I  
actually wanted to quote something from earlier in the thread and had to  
work harder for it (than I thought should be needed).

Cheers,
