[In "ARexx postings in comp.lang.rexx", Chuck Kesler said:]
: 
: I'm an Amiga and ARexx owner, but I think that the use of comp.lang.rexx
: for posting Arexx scripts is quite inappropriate.  The reasoning is quite
: simple:  comp.lang.rexx is gatewayed into the Bitnet REXXLIST Listserv
: mailing list, and the traffic generated by the ARexx postings is not
: in line with the the subject matter that REXXLIST was started for, which
: was Rexx running on IBM mainframes, specifically IBM's running VM/SP.

I believe your information about REXXLIST being intended solely for IBM
mainframes is mistaken.  Here is the official description of REXXLIST
taken from the file LISTSERV.GROUPS at BITNIC: 

  List: REXXLIST@UCF1VM
  Coordinator: LISTSERV Editor (EDITOR@UCF1VM)
  Peers: UGA
    THE REXX (STANDARDS) DIGEST: Discussion group for the REXX language,
    with an emphasis on coding standards.
