One important thing to mention in all of this is that doing this would have
zero effect on anyone on the newsgroup side who posts to just comp.sys.hp.mpe
only, which is of course virtually everyone on that side of the fence. Their
world would otherwise be unmodified. Their postings would still be gated
through, as normally done, and the list's would be gated back to the
newsgroup.

The only real difference is that the readers of the newsgroup would have the
added benefit of still being able to read all of the Shannon Knows postings.
They would continue to appear there.
