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. -- Jim Marco -- doc@uiuc.edu Medforum list owner
