Seeing as the list is barely a month old, and that we are still coming
to terms with what our common interests are, I'd suggest that we let
things stabilize a bit before making any changes.  I think it's
reasonable in time to gateway PIPORG-L to alt.music.organs and
subsequently to rec.music.organs (groups yet to be invented) but first
let's accumulate a little tradition and identity.  I would warn that
gatewaying to a newsgroup would expose us to a much larger audience,
which is fine, and result in a very much greater volume of traffic,
which (to my taste) is not so fine.
