Hi. I have gatewayed MLA-L to USENET without difficulty. Several individuals preferred or had to access the list in that way. No appreciable difference in the volume or character of correspondence was noticed. It seems like if a list is not amenable to undergraduate debate or ethnic venom, you are probably safe from masses. *GO* Cordially, forever more, *!!* A.
