Yeah, Robert, it could be done this way. The SCREEN-L-Usenet gateway could
be made "uni-directional": SCREEN-L to Usenet, but not Usenet to SCREEN-L.
Or, it could be bi-directional: SCREEN-L to Usenet *and* Usenet to
SCREEN-L.
It's our choice...if we choose to make the connection at all.

Yes, that's my impression. And I myself only recently found a way into
Usenet that wasn't so cumbersome as to make it use*less*.
Let me stress once again: even if we do open this gateway, SCREEN-L would
continue to be available through e-mail as it currently is. Indeed, that
would continue to be the *main* was SCREEN-L operates.
