Regarding the proposed group clean-up: Maybe this would also be a good
time to integrate "net.info-terms" and "fa.info-terms". Why should these
two groups be separate? Why can't there be a two-way gateway between the
ARAPNET Info-Terms mailing list and "net.info-terms", the same way as
there is for "net.ham-radio" and "Info-Hams", or other similar situations?

Is there some historical reason for keeping these two separate? I looked
in the bimonthly newsgroups listing and see no special notes about them;
they just have the same description. It would benefit participants on
both the ARPA and Usenet sides to have the info interchange freely.

Is there a gateway maintainer out there who can provide reasons for
keeping the status quo? If not, can this change be added to the package?

Regards,
Will Martin
