Ron, when creating a gateway group from Arpa to Usenet via a "net" group,
is bi-directional capability automatically provided?

If not, the "mod" approach is better than the "fa" approach because this
facility can be provided easily.

I would prefer to see all "fa" groups converted to "mod" groups, just to
simplify the news software, and provide for bidirectional transmissions.
As far as I am concerned, there need not be a "real" moderator for these
groups.  Whenever articles arrive, they are automatically posted to Usenet,
and the ArpaNet (if necessary).
