jane, duplication is a major no-no in usenut. any even casual reader of
news.groups can tell that. I predict responses in the range of "why not just
gate your mailing list" [extremely common -- ever see the bit.listserv
heirarchy?] to "are you proposing 'rec.bees'?" and the proposal falling flat on
its face, and then MORE non-tech people KNOWING about your precious royal
jelly, BEE-L.
