posting to mailing list via newsgroup?

It was suggest to me that I try nntp to view list messages.  It appears
that some are using the Pan news reader to post.

My question, how are you posting to a mailing list via nntp and why?  I
realize that most mailing list appear or are archived on the web and in
news groups.  But I thought you had to subscribe to an "email mailing
list" - how is this possible through nntp?

Or are you reading the list via news and posting by email?

In any case, google sure finds all messages very fast.  Post a message
to the list, search for keyword and it appears on google almost instantly!

With Thunderbird and mutt threading, why would I even want to use ol' nntp.
