Unseen messages are very frequently a problem in a different way
as well.  There are a large number of subscribers to the 
mailing list who do not unsubscribe when not reading the messages
for months at a time.  The unread messages from a high volume list
can fill up the disk storage on computers with many subscribers
to the list.   Reading the messages with a newsreader solves that
problem quite nicely.  Please do make this change.

	To transit from listserv to newsgroup is different from two-way
relaying. There are readers who may no have the access to usenet and
readers who do not want to receive large volume of mails every day
through mailing list that may have even slightly defference in their
topics in discussion. and these people may not want to be "restricted"
by certain newsgroups.

	While two-way relaying between tpc and china-nt is considered to
be not so appropriate, one way routing from china-nt to tpc should be
regarded as making little sense. Therefore I support disconnection from
china-nt to tpc. I don't want to double check each time where the
posting was originated before I do the followup.
