	i have no great vested interest in using the university's
resources or mine to this end. i monitor the bit.admin group, i respond to
relevant posts. i must be honest with you; it would not break my heart if
bit.* disappeared--at least if the gateways disappeared. they are the
single greatest thorn in my side--and that is saying a lot.
	the list owners have proved to be, as a group mind you, an
inconsiderate lot. they scream and whine about their gateways or lists,
never minding the fact that American University wouldn't know them from
adam. i read and post to at least one bit group regularly, but gatewaying
is a PITA. i am working on a unix based solution (we're using VM now), but
it takes a low priority to the 14 machines i manage.
