     The STOCKPHOTO Listproc is a discussion group devoted to the Stock 
Photography Industry (or the business of selling existing photographs for 
publication).  The STOCKPHOTO List is run out of Curtin University of 
Technology in Perth, Western Australia, and has over 600 subscribers from 
around the world.  It has become apparent that we would have more readers
if we also had a gateway for STOCKPHOTO through a newsgroup.

     Although STOCKPHOTO is technically an unmoderated list, it is closely 
monitored by the list owner to ensure that contributions are kept on a 
professional and non-promotional level.  We would only be interested in 
giving STOCKPHOTO a moderated newsgroup gateway so people who happen to be 
interested in the discussion but uninterested in the increasing volume of 
mail could continue reading contributions.

     Because we're a listproc and not a listserv, it may be better to have 
STOCKPHOTO registered as "info.stockphoto".  While I'm open to alternative 
suggestions, "rec.photo.stockphoto" would be out of the question since this 
list caters to a professional group, and not a recreational one.

     Are there any objections to having a moderated gateway established 
for the STOCKPHOTO Listproc?
