I agree with Jane.  In fact, I would lobby *strongly* against linking
the two together - I don't think it would do BEE-L any good to get the
extra traffic.  I'm also not sure how much the folks on Usenet would
really appreciate the scientific/academic traffic from BEE-L. If
someone asks truly intelligent questions on the Usenet group, maybe
we could *discretely* clue them in on BEE-L (assuming some BEE-L
participants also monitor the newsgroup).  But if there is enough
interest to support a newsgroup in addition to BEE-L, I don't see
a problem with it.
