Quite frankly, I agree with you Jim.  I am only going by what 
was suggested to me by my Postmaster.  As you know, if my  
Postmaster disagrees, then NO gateway is formed.  By proposing 
this unidirectional gateway, and monitoring the Usenet group 
for activity, I hope to show him that his fears are groundless,
and that a bidirectional gateway would not be a major problem.

As for a problem being caused for Usenet readers, I do undertake 
to post regularly to the newsgroup to inform them of the situation
of their posts not getting to the mailing list.

Another point: If unidirectional gateways are such a problem, why
do they continue to be offered as an alternative?

Lastly, there is no way that I will undertake to manually look at
articles.  If the Listserv software allows me some flexibility, 
then I might consider it.  But at the moment, some of the best 
information on the discussion list comes from cross-post from
other lists (eg. Devel-L), so just limiting posting to members 
of the discussion list would probably not be the answer.

For the record, there has been no negative comments on this 
proposal in the Discussion List.  (and about four people
posting to express their support) 

Really lastly, ( :) ) the unidirectional gateway is seen (by
me anyway) as a temporary measure, with it become bidirectional
in a few (maximum six) months.
