Then why do you want bit.magazines.hott?

Since we're running off the listserv at U.C. San Diego, it's only natural 
to gate to a bit.* USENET group.  However, comp.* will receive greater 
exposure with our target market.  Hence, we'd like to gate HOTT to both.

Also, my understanding is that getting a comp.* will take a lot of time.  
(I admit, I might be dead wrong on this issue!)  But I'd like to have a 
USENET-gated group concurrent with the launch of the first issue.

And, quite frankly, I don't have a clue as to how to get approval for a 
comp.* group.  Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

Why?  Most of the bit.* groups are gated from LISTSERV mailing lists.

I can see why you want a comp group, but I'm less clear on the advantage of
having both.

It takes about two months, start to finish.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but that might not be reasonable.
Some things take time.

Well, before considering gatewaying to a comp group, you should become a lot
more clueful of the way USENET works.  Start with news.announce.newusers.
