- This is correct - messages posted to comp.lang.lisp.mcl
- are not posted to the info-mcl mailing list (although
- info-mcl messages are posted to the newsgroup).
-
- I am not aware of any system which would permit doing this
- without creating the kinds of infinite loops (and duplicate
- messages) we saw just recently on this list. If you have
- a dependable solution in mind, feel free to let us know.
