Initially I thought that would be a good idea, but now I wonder... if the mailing list was gatewayed, then the mailing list would be subject to all the *dis*advantages of a newsgroup -- that is, more spam, no way to boot off people who abuse the list, and so on. So I am not so certain that it would be a good idea. Of course, one problem with having them completely separate is that I doubt that many people would have the time to keep up with both. And anyway, I would not subscribe to a newsgroup. I haven't read newsgroups for quite a few years. -- _--_|\ | Kathryn Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.katspace.com> / \ | \_.--.*/ | GenFicCrit mailing list <http://www.katspace.com/gen_fic_crit/> v | ------------| Melbourne -> Victoria -> Australia -> Southern Hemisphere Maranatha! | -> Earth -> Sol -> Milky Way Galaxy -> Universe
