I should think that the thing to do would be to post to info-nets and say
"If you  read this group  on Usenet, which  newsgroup are you  reading it
in?" (and ask for the responses to be mailed back to you). If the results
show no one is reading it on  Usenet, then the whole question is moot. If
one group or the other is more widely read, then the less widely read one
should be closed while  you compose your CFD on the  group in the comp.**
hierarchy. We don't get info.nets here (and didn't even know such a group
existed) and so didn't know  about the duplicate gateways. I, personally,
read the info-nets traffic in the bit.listserv.infonets newsgroup.
