After my last posting on this topic, several people told me that
at least part of net.sources ("net.sources, net.sources.bugs and
net.sources.games") is gated to the ARPANET mailing list UNIX-SOURCES.
I am admittedly ignorant of the hierarchical structure (if any) of
net.sources. I sent a request for information to the moderator of
UNIX-SOURCES about 2 weeks ago and have received no reply, but I
feel it is unlikely that he would be willing to gate the proposed
list net.sources.amiga to a list supposedly of interest to users
of UNIX systems so we could read it. It seems even more unlikely
that we would be able to post anything to net.sources.amiga, with
the current net configuration.
My personal opinion is that the current gated mailing list
INFO-AMIGA/net.micro.amiga works very well, and that it would take
a lot of work to set up a second list with similar performance.
If another list is established, please make an effort to see that
it is gated to ARPANET.
Further enlightenment appreciated.
