Re:

Getting an ARPA list on USENET.

It is better to convince the moderator to get the list gated
onto USENET as an fa.all group.

Two reasons:

1) It doesn't take too many USENET subscribers to make it
cheaper to send the list to all sites as a group.

2) USENET/ARPANET gateways get overloaded with N copies of
the same data, instead of 1 copy. This is unfair to the gateway
site, and could lead to loss of the service.
