I was wondering if someone could explain the connections between
info-atari16 and other groups/lists. I read in the list-of-lists
description that "there is a mirror between the ARPANET/DDN mailing
list and Usenet news group comp.sys.atari.st". I have also noticed
that people on Usenet seem to get the messages rather quickly
while those of us who only get the Digest have to wait for them
to be moderated.
When I send mail to info-atari16@score.stanford.edu what happens.
Where else does it go and when does it go out? I have never used
Usenet so I don't really know anything about it.
Thanks beforehand,

Info-atari16 is gatewayed to comp.sys.atari.st. When you send a
message to info-atari16 it gets sent to comp.sys.atari.st by the
program netnews.
The reason Usenet readers get messages quicker is because once one
site recieve a message for comp.sys.atari.st, it passes it on to its
net neighbors.
