That is *exactly* how we run the NOVELL list, 3,500+ subscribers, 80+ postings per day. It ensures that the tail (usenet) can not wag the dog (the mailing list). We take the view that the news feed is a convenience for those who prefer their news reader to their mail program. BTW NOVELL is also Send= Private so those who want to use their news reader have to subscriber and set NOMAIL in order to participate. There was a little squawking in the begining but that has died out. -- Glenn A.
