Lines: 18 One thing you apparently haven't thought of: Arpa only people CANNOT post to net.sources! Unless there is a site out there willing to gateway it, the Arpa people will have to either put up with collecting requests, or mail to Unix.Emacs@Cmu-Cs-A. The former can be painful for both the sender and the receiver: the sender waits a while till the requests stop coming in, types in the mail, hits control-D, and sees the fateful message: "You have new mail." The latter has just been flamed at. So my first suggestion is: Arpa people, carefully include the words "Source Code" on your subject line. Usenet people, send to net.sources and put a notice on net.emacs. Then don't be surprised when you get 8 zillion requests from Arpa people. This suffers from the shortcomings given above. Thus my second suggestion: whoever's gatewaying to/from Arpa, gateway net.sources too. Set up an Arpa distribution list for it (and double gateway it if possible). - Chris ({allegra,seismo}!umcp-cs!chris)
