- If you create both, they'll be a mire of crossposted messages - the
- distinction between the two is blurred, to say the least.

- Those seem reasonable enough to me. I also like the suggestion of a group
- for documentation or something similar. We've actually done something
- similar in the past with the uk-motss mailing list, where a discussion
- on the list has referred to a document available from the uk-motss mail
- server, which prevented people having to wade through huge texts but made
- them available to everyone.

-
- Not queer, I think. Although I have no problems with it, it is a very
- value-laden term, and one that many are uncomfortable with. lesbigay or
- something similar is a good idea.
-
- Perhaps it's also worth considering leaving the root name as it is but
- making sure that there is a regular posting about soc.motss sent to
- other key groups, like alt.sex, soc.men, soc.women and so on.
