It would seem to me that the volume of mail to net.emacs is small enough
so that discussion of all EMACSes really should go here.  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.
