How do these cross-posting and cross-referring of newsgroups affect those
who are on the DJGPP mailing list, and _not_ the newsgroup? If the
proposed idea makes it more difficult for people on the mailing list to
get answers, then I do not favor moderation. On the other hand, if it
does not significantly impact those users, then I remain neutral, as I
actually enjoy some of the tidbits of information that I come across while
lurking on the mailing list.
