groups into usenet because most users didn't have. access to arpanet
only usenet.. The world's oldest electronic conferences the ARPANET
mailing lists. were quickly integrated into USENET. Gateways were
made so newsgroups. starting with fa (From ARPANET) contained the
mailing list contents. and USENET users could post and participate.
ARPANET mailing lists. emerged around not long after network email
linked ARPANET users. together.. It's only purpose is that. everyone
who want to subscribe to the mailinglist can. just read the newsgroup
(saves some disk space I guess).. The prefix fa is as far as I know quiet
historic.. The first mailing lists that were converted to newsgroups. had
this prefix (fa from arpanet).. Until this discussion I didn't know that
this group was. distributed outside ifi.uio.no (Institute of Informatics.
University of Oslo). Do you get the other fa.groups as. well At the
moment there are of them.. search on arpanet usenet gateway etc for
more internet history.. for the other question see my recent post about. I
believe so...but I don't know who set it up or when or what 'fa'. stands.
for for that matter.... Ryan. Since my pop mail account keeps screwing
up over here Ive been. looking for a. way to read the wryting list I
found the fiction of philosphy. newsgroup which. seems to have some
of the wryting list archived there. How does this. work Is. the
newsgroup subscribed to the wryting list. inlangplgroupfa.fiction.

Web Based Mail.. Re fiction of philosophy newsgroup. and also. ..This
rather brings to mind a syndrome that sometimes occurred when an. old
Arpanet mailing list got gatewayed to a Usenet newsgroup. After a.
little while some Usenet novice would commit some faux pas a furious.
Arpanaut would flame violently about how Usenet was nothing but
bozos. who didn't understand How Things Should Be Done and the
gatewaying was a. stupid idea and the list maintainer would quietly
observe that the. gatewaying had indeed produced problems but it was
also producing most. of the real content... Henry Spencer Mail Relays.
