I own five lists which are gatewayed to bit.listserv.listname NONE of them have been any trouble in that respect. Four are library/ technical in nature, one is a hobby list. I know I can delete the Usenet link as quickly as any other subscriber in case I have problems, but they just have not arisen. My experience is that the 'jerks' on Usenet hangout on a few newsgroups that cater to that mentality, and CDROMLAN perhaps just isn't one of them. Just like a town I used to live in that had a high crime rate. Almost ALL of the crime occurred in one small part of town. I never went there, and never had problems. Same works for me on Usenet. 8-) dan ***************************************************************************** * Dan Lester Bitnet: alileste@idbsu * * Associate University Librarian Internet: [log in to unmask] * * Boise State University * * Boise, Idaho 83725 BSU and I have a deal: I don't speak * * 208-385-1234 for them and they don't speak for me. * *****************************************************************************
