I would like opinions whether anyone would be interested in this.

For a long time I have looked for a free listserver service that would set up a 
gateway between the az.sf newsgroup and an open listserver that anyone could 
subscribe to.  So far no luck.  Free listserver services are fairly common but 
in general they forbid newsgroup gateways for fear of spreading spam, they 
don't know how, or they are just not set up for it.  So far the traffic in this 
group is fairly light.  

The advantages are: the listserver makes it easy to see and reply with E-mail 
since most people check their E-mail first anyway.  Also some people don't have 
access to the az.sf newsgroup. There are also options to view the listserver 
posts via the web.  On the other side the newsgroup keeps open (to the public) 
posts with no possible censorship; can be viewed without giving your E-mail 
address to anyone; posts can be viewed for several days even if you just showed 
up, and they are the recognized (one & only) group with the name/topic.  If you 
are looking for an open forum on the internet for something in Arizona, then an 
"az.*" newsgroup is the place.  Thus, for Arizona based SciFi, az.sf is the 
place.  

If I were to set up an open, unmoderated listserver that anyone could subscribe 
to, and reposted everything from that listserver here, then reposted any posts 
(other than my listserver reposts, of course) would anyone be interested?  I 
would, of course not repost spam.  Ads are ok as long as they are vaguely 
related to SciFi / Fantasy.  If the posts get too heavy, I would give up or 
post digests.  The subscriber list would be kept confidential.  Posts from the 
listserver/newsgroup would be identifyable in the Subject line.  If possible I 
would mke the post appear to come from the  original poster.  If I couldn't, 
then it would appear to come from me.  The cross over would be delayed till I 
could see and manually transfer the post.   I believe I can do this and I am 
willing.

Opinions?
