After hearing the recent plaintive requests on net.micro.apple for a gateway
between the Usenet and the Arpanet mailing list named info-mac@sumex, I
contacted the Edward Pattermann, moderator of that group, and asked him if
he'd be willing to have one set up.  Info-mac is already a fairly high
volume newsgroup and so consequently he had some well-founded objections to
setting up a two way connection between a net.* group and the list.
However, he did not have objections to setting up a read-only-like
connection such as what one gets with a fa.* group.  This doesn't seem like
such a big restriction to me since there already is lots of mac-related
discussion in net.micro.apple.  Usenet can continue to use net.micro.apple
for its discussions but can also refer to fa.info-mac for the information it
provides.

Consequently, we have established a gateway from info-mac@sumex into
fa.info-mac at uw-beaver.
