A few questions on this subject: 1. What is the "standard" or easiest way to create a newsgroup bit.listserv.ballroom for my list "ballroom"? I see many other bit.listserv.* lists, but apparently the process is not automatic. It also does not seem to follow any particular voting process. (I realize that not all sites carry the bit.listserv hierarchy.) 2. What address do I have to add to my list to gateway it to the Newsgroup, once it has been created? 3. Is the gateway bidirectional? I.e., if someone posts to bit.listserv.xxx, will it automatically be mailed to list xxx? If so, where is this handled? And what mechanism is used to ensure that the gateway operation only happens once per message? (I did notice that there did not seem to be anything that kept me from posting directly to a bit.listserv Newsgroup). 4. Is there more detailed documentation on this subject? Thanks.
