- 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.
-
- We don't have access to usenet right now, but I remember vaguely from
- ancient days ;-( that newsgroups which are marked as "moderated" get all
- responses mailed to the "moderators" address - the moderator is then
- responsable for feeding them back into usenet via some news agent like
- inews or whatever. So if the moderator's task is just to combine usenet
- responses and the mailing list and not to review the responses, this
- could be automated without looping or duplicating messages - or I missed
- something.
