I just went through the process of getting comp.object up and running.
Now I am receiving e-mail with requests like:

	- "please add me to the list"
	- "what are the distribution mechanisms for overseas access to
	  the list"
	- "how do I access this list from *net"

I do know the differences among mailing lists, newsgroups, b-boards,
and the like. However, I would like to know the proper "netiquette"
for creating alternate access methods. For example, do I simply post a
message requesting volunteers to re-distribute the newsgroup?
