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).
