I think everyone who can see these postings has access to triangle.freenet,
but isn't neccessarily interested in subscribing to all/any mailing lists.
(i.e. Potential high traffic mailing lists can clutter people's mailers
possibly interfering with or overwhelming work related mail.)  Therefore,
it would make more sense, IMHO, to forward all discussion groups mail to
triangle.freenet, but do not bother forwarding anything in triangle.freenet
to the mailing lists.  People can then limit/concentrate their intake of
'Triangle Freenet' info via specific mailing list(s) and can occasionally
check triangle.freenet for other tidbits they might be missing.
