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. -len tower harpo!inmet!tower Cambridge, MA
