That's not what people are doing. The moderator of the Prolog Digest
is picking up articles of interest from net.lang.prolog and putting
them into the mailing list for the ARPAnet (often with mangled
return addresses, but that's another issue). Then the Digest gets
gatewayed back onto Usenet. I've had several articles appear twice
in this way.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this newsgroup. The
signal-to-noise ratio is very high by Usenet standards. (And let's
all shut up from now on about whether there's too much traffic,
since we just create more traffic by talking about it.)
