Well, this just came round again, from 31st August 1998...

I guess you don't really want any more replies. Besides, the old ones
will be along real soon...

But it got me thinking... What's the current state of play on gating?

How many servers are currently gating HP3000-L to comp.sys.hp.mpe?

How many servers are currently gating comp.sys.hp.mpe to HP3000-L?

Which, if any, of these processes can detect duplicates and suppress
them?

I can just about cope with iffy threading OR replying-above-the-message
OR multiple posting

but *combinations* of the above my head to spin do make :-(

Still, must look on the bright side. At least the spammers will take one
look at Deja News and regard comp.sys.hp.mpe as too incoherent to spam
:-)
