I disagree.  I agree that all postings from rtpfreenet should go to
triangle.freenet, but I also think that everything on triangle.freenet
should go to rtpfreenet.  Otherwise the people on the mailing list will
still have to keep up with the newsgroup, and people who prefer the
newsgroup will not be heard by the mailing list-only people.  The whole
point of this should be that they are the same thing, so anyone can
choose which format they want to use without missing any info.

But the tf-* lists need not be gated to triangle.freenet.
