From: utzoo!decvax!cca!z Newsgroups: net.emacs Title: Re: net.emacs <-> Unix.Emacs@CMUA gateways both ways.

Therefore, while it certainly makes sense for Gosling's mailing list to be gatewayed to net.emacs, I'm not sure if it makes sense to gateway things the other way around as well. I suppose this really depends on the feelings of the people on Gosling's mailing list. It would seem to me to be reasonable to have the list on CCA EMACS gatewayed through here as well (one way); there's usually only one message out on this list every few weeks, so users of other EMACSes would not require excessive use of their 'n' key. In addition, I for one would be interested in continuing news about Montgomery's EMACS, and I imagine that there must be others out there who feel the same way. There are also other Unix EMACSes around (such as Elle), and this group is certainly the logical place for news about them. If ever a large volume of news (i.e., many articles a day) developed for somebody's EMACS, then I think subgroups might be in order. But at this stage, I think it would be unfair to the rest of Usenet to clutter up the net with any more little-used groups. Steve Zimmerman decvax!cca!z
