I would like the permission to gateway my new list EXOTIC-L to rec.pets.birds. Several people on rec.pets.birds have offered the suggestion that they would like to keep the information discussed on rec.pets.birds in one central location (i.e. the more people that read a question, the better the response). EXOTIC-L is set up to discuss the health and husbandry of exotic pet birds. I feel that a lot of the questions and answers that appear in rec.pets.birds will be relevent to those discussed in EXOTIC-L. I am hopeing that EXOTIC-L will have a more social atmosphere between it's subscribers than the just-the-facts type of posts seen on rec.pets.birds, but the facts themselves need to be distributed to as many of the people interested as possible. TIA, Kathryn A. Smith katsmith@vt.edu EXOTIC-L list owner

Hm. I read your notice about EXOTIC-L in rec.pets.birds, and I saw only one public reply, suggesting that, ungated, EXOTIC-L would compete with rec.pets.birds. To some extent, this might be true. But on the other hand, perhaps there are readers of rec.pets.birds who would prefer a quieter, lower-volume forum in which to discuss truly exotic birds. Before you gate your mailing list to the newsgroup, how about asking the newsgroup if that is okay with them? Also, you need to do some homework about how LISTSERV mailing lists can be run. Get the various FAQs for list administrators and use REVIEW <listname> SHORT on several other lists to see how they are configured. -- Una Smith una.smith@yale.edu Dept. of Biology, Yale Univ., New Haven, CT 06520-8104

Since the newsgroup already exists and the mailing list is both new and owned by you, the only permission you must receive is that of the regular participants in the newsgroup. If they agree, the gateway can be set up. If they say no, then it cannot. Jim McIntosh (jim@american.edu) The American University Washington, DC USA 20016-8019
