Now that UCB has converted its gatewaying of the fa.* groups to mod.*
groups, I see that Stanford is gatewaying fa.*. This means I get all
the ARPA mailing lists twice. I don't think I like this.

Would it be asking too much to have only one gateway? I thought most
of the people involved in the USENET backbone had agreed the mod.*
idea was acceptable. Stanford disagreed and was going to keep getting
the lists in the fa.* form. But now they are leaking out into the rest
of USENET, which is undesirable.

Can we come to a consensus on this matter? Or are Stanford and
Berkeley going to fight it out regardless of the impact on the rest of
the USENET community?
