Before turning the Inet groups into World groups, you should
probably ask the maintainer of each list if s/he wants that
kind of wide-based broadcasting.  When Erik first started
the massive gatewaying, I know that he contacted each list
person to get added; presumably he also explained his
reasons at that time.

If you turn a smallish Inet-only group into a world-wide
Usenet group you should at least ask the list administrator
if s/he approves.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of them
said no.
