Mark,

You can feel free to ask the folks in comp.sys.hp.hpux if they'd
like to have the new list gated to the newsgroup (although if any
of them have read 3000-L they'll probably threaten your family if
you try:).  I would expect that the volume of off-topic posts, if
it's anything like in 3000-L, might be ill-received by the folks
there.  If you'd like to ask them, feel free, and we at EDIT will
be pleased to gate the newsgroup and 9000-L just like we do for
3000-L and comp.sys.hp.mpe.  We can also provide a one-way
gateway from the Usenet group to the new 9000-L mailing list if
9000-L members would like to be able to see the questions and
answers available in the newsgroup via the mailing list.

If comp.sys.hp.hpux isn't chuffed with the proposition of getting
a feed from 9000-L, it would also be possible for someone to
request that a new newsgroup (perhaps comp.sys.hp.ot:) be created
for those people for whom mailing list membership is
im[practical|possible].  One can find a version of the accepted
(and drawn-out) procedures for requesting comp.sys.hp.9000-L at
http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/ncreate.html.
