Funny, I run the newsgroup and the problem is that they only go the
other way! All articles posted to 9fans are automatically gatewayed
into comp.os.plan9. The odd article fails because of invalid headers, but
I usually patch those up and post them.

Articles posted however are not gatewayed back to the mailing list. It
is hard to do this without all the software being under the control of
one person, if you are to avoid loops.

I reject about 80% of the postings to comp.os.plan9, as being adverts
for sex services of one kind or another.
