Could the "Internet Backbone Cabal" perhaps comment on why those inet groups
are not going to the whole net? I know that what we do is subscribe to lists
of interest with a mail gateway alias that posts them to local groups. If
this is already being done on a less add-hoc basis, perhaps the entire
List Of Lists could be gatewayed into Usenet. Then maybe we could finally
swamp those digest-mongering interneters :-)
