A listserv to which I belong is mirrored in the bit.listserv domain. We
as a group no longer wish to maintain that connection, which we voted to
create a number of years ago. The mirror newsgroup's continued existence
is now more of a problem than a help to the members, and apparently is
no longer being read by interested persons.

I hope someone here can answer my questions:

  1. Is there a procedure to terminate the existence of a newsgroup?
  I find plenty of help for bringing a proposed new group to a vote, but
  nothing about how to kill an existing one!

  2. Is there a way of at least disassociating the newsgroup (which would
  die of languishment) from the listserv mailing distribution process?

Many thanks for any help!
