The posts must not have been reaching us until the gateway was moved.  While
all the groups were set up initially, those with no traffic for 90 days are
automatically removed here.  That must have been what happened.  Thanks.

BTW, for those of you running gateways, make sure you don't use a "bit"
distribution, as many sites will not pass them (since they aren't included
in the regions they accept) even though they do get the bit groups.  It's
possible that this has kept some of the groups from seeing traffic here.
