You're right about that but I think that is more dangerous than the list
owner learning about USENET and making a concious decision to gateway the
list.  If an end-user subscribes in an attempt to gateway the list into USENET
you can bet more than half of the time we will see loops or complaints that
the gateway is not working properly.
