   Perhaps we can reserve the term gateway to systems that are truly     
   insecure like usenet.  The Telegram solution that Stas has built     
   is limited to itself; the general public cannot access those     
   messages unless specifically participating as "known" users.     
   Unlike usenet, it is not possible to be a lurker as you can be in     
   fidonet or usenet.   
      
   Carol's analogy of the Telegram "system" as an OLR solution is     
   better.  No one thinks of OLR's as gateways. ;)
