If rec.unicycling is established it will probably be an unmoderated
group, thus there may be some noise in it. It would be a forum for
promoting unicycling to the public (at least the faction that read
USENET groups).

The unicycling mailing list would remain for the hardcore unicyclists
and others who prefer to see unicycling articles in their inbox. The
mailing list would have a gateway to and from rec.unicycling. The
list probably would have a "moderator" who would filter noise out of
the flow of articles from rec.unicycling to the unicycling list. He
would not look at articles from the list to rec.unicycling nor would
he moderate the list itself.

The following diagram should clarify this plan:

/--------------\ /---------\ /------------\
| rec.unicycling | ----> | moderator | ----> | mailing list |
\--------------/ \---------/ \------------/
^ ^ | ^
| | | |
| \----------------------------------/ |
v v
/-----------\ /-----------\
| unicyclists | | unicyclists |
\-----------/ \-----------/

Stay on Top,
