Hello, After a week of discussion, and some confusion over whether the e-mail option will go away, there seems to be two issues at hand. One issue revolves around making Museum-L available for those who wish to read the list as a newsgroup. For this purpose, I will recommend that we proceed ahead with the creation of a netnews gateway titled bit.listserv.museum-l The second issue is the need (or perceived need) for a museum- heirarchy on Netnews. There have been some good discussions, but I think the rec.museums.xxx seems to be the most logical, although many Museum-L subscribers use the list for professional development. Several subscribers have mentioned the problem of spamming on Netnews. Although I do not think this is going to be a real problem, I will keeep an eye on things. If there is net abuse, I will ask that the gateway be shutdown. The bottom line is that I am trying to provide extra service for our subscribers, and the gateway seems to be the best way to go at this point. john chadwick chadwick@unm.edu chadwick@darwin.nmmnh-abq.mus.nm.us

I support this choice (because I don't think there is any other really appropriate place in the existing hierarchy; see below). >The second issue is the need (or perceived need) for a museum- heirarchy >on Netnews. ... but I think the >rec.museums.xxx seems to be the most logical, ... REC.MUSEUMS for MUSEUM-L ? John!?!!? No way! Surely, you jest? I believe that the newsgroups need a new high-level category, probably called "acad" (for academic), as suggested by Una and discussed over the years a lot, and that this _might_ be the place to put museum some day (museums, as a profession/business/pursuit/service/etc [yes, even recreation], cover such a diverse bailiwick that it's difficult to pin them down under one or another category).
