Comparing fa.info-mac and net.micro.mac in this case isn't really relevant.
fa.info-mac is deliberately moderated to keep the traffic down to mainly
things of interest to people who want to develop programs on their Macs.  In
particular, many of the recent net.micro.mac messages about "please post
binhex" would have been suppressed on fa.info-mac.  net.micro.mac's charter
is much wider.  In many cases, particularly with technical groups, the
Arpanet people prefer to have a list gatewayed to a fa. group rather than to
a net. group because the people posting from Usenet are usually a little
more knowledgable and hence a little more restrained in what they post.
Before anyone hollers "elitism", note that this is a good part of the
argument for having mod. groups too.
