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? -- Una Smith smith-una@yale.edu Department of Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520-8104 USA
