Please, send me URL  to faqs and informations  about  this and i  will
start the process  of obtaining a newsgroup for  us.   More info about
fare's idea of a newsgroup linked with the list can be great too. 

The comp.os.lispos seem to  me the best solution.   I dont think  we
should    worry too  much   about  non-member writing,  very technical
newsgroup like this one did'nt get spammed that much.
