- I have yet to hear any convincing reason why any such discussion needs
- to take place, and I know of no one besides Brian who objects to the
- gatewaying which is proposed.

- Rather than conducting the discussion academically, my view is that it
- will be most productive and meaningful to talk about the subject after the
- gateway is established and articles are passing back and forth across it
- (as they presently are between alt.native and the NATCHAT list). If there
- are objections at that point, we can discuss them in a non-abstract manner.
-
- We've been over all this territory before, so I have to see it as a
- non-issue at present.
