(ruby-talk list assumed)

Posts to comp.lang.ruby are mirrored to the list (the gateway software
is just one member of the list).

You could send all forum posts to c.l.ruby without needing permission
from anyone (until, maybe, someone complained).

I guess, with permission from the list admin., you would pipe all
forum posts through one list account (as the NG->ML gateway does).

IOW, either way, folks need to subscribe to your forum, only.

Presumably, traffic to the ML/NG would increase but we'd just have to
deal with it.
