In message <199504211910.UAA11985@isl.cf.ac.uk> you write: >I'm only talking about hackers mail going to the newsgroup and > not the other way around Then I vote nay. One-way newsgroup gateways are counterintuitive -- if you see an article in netnews, and you reply to it, you expect that the person who wrote the original is going to see your response. I suspect that all that you will accomplish would be pissing off the people who keep posting questions to netnews but everyone ignores them... Bill
