Note, the Followup-To line is set to bit.admin.

Is there any interest in moving the newsgroup side of this mailing
list to the comp.text.* hierarchy?  This would at least double the
propagation of the newsgroup, permitting many readers to switch
over from e-mail subscriptions, and allow many more people to find
and use the newsgroups (thanks to a more logical placement in the
Usenet "namespace).  No doubt, it would also create more traffic:
this may be a good or a bad thing, depending on how current readers
feel about the traffic level now.

I'd like to propose:				in place of:

	comp.text.bibliography.endnote		bit.listserv.endnote
	comp.text.bibliography.notabene		bit.listserv.notabene

The gateways to the ENDNOTE and NOTABENE mailing lists would be moved
accordingly.  (Does bit.listserv.endnote have a mailing list attached?
It doesn't appear on the global list of LISTSERV mailing lists.)

Comp.text.* is propagated to about 80% of Usenet, compared to 30% for
bit.listserv.*.  Newsgroups in comp.text.* include:

	comp.text.desktop
	comp.text.frame
	comp.text.interleaf
	comp.text.sgml
	comp.text.tex

List owners:  how do you feel about this suggestion?
