I am the list owner of Medforum (medforum@arizvm1), which is bidirectionally
gated to bit.listserv.medforum.  Arizvm1 is ceasing listserv support, so
Medforum will be moving to a new host soon.  (We already have a host; this is 
not a beg-for-host message.)

The newsgroup is moderated by listserv, therefore when the group changes
hosts, a newgroup msg will need to be sent out to update the address for
submissions.  At the same time, I would like to consider the possibility of 
renaming the usenet group from bit.listserv.medforum to sci.med.medforum, 
which I believe would be a more appropriate name.

bit.listserv.medforum was created at a time when all listserv-usenet gated
groups were named and placed in the bit.listserv.* hierarchy.  When that
policy ceased some time ago, I did not ask to change the name of the group
because it seemed like an esoteric consideration and not worth the 
inconvenience to usenet administrators that it would generate.  However, as
I said, since the upcoming host change will necessitate a newgroup msg
anyway, I think that now is the time to change the name.
