Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you *DO* set up a gateway and someone
decides that their mailbox is getting over-stuffed, can't that person
unsubscribe from the mailing list and just read comp.sys.zoomer on their
own time? That should solve any mailbox overloading problems.
And if the newsgroup is started, why would we want a seperate mailing
list? So we could have our own little "zoomer secret club?" Why not
open our discussion up to everyone?
Just my little $0.02...
