I'm trying to figure out why an existing newsgroup 
(bit.listserv.techwr-l) gated to a list 
(TECHWR-L@LISTSERV.OKSTATE.EDU) was apparently dropped from 
the bit.* list.

Both the group and the list are still active, but I can't get
a response from jim@american.edu to find out what's going on. 
The group and gateway have been up and running for over 3 
years without problems like this, so it's not like it's a 
new situation. 

Any suggestions would be welcomed. Please respond directly
to my E-mail address if you can help or advise.

That was my mistake. I was cleaning up various old newsgroups and
forgot that b.l.techwr-l was being gateway'ed somewhere else. (All
the other bit.listserv.* groups are gateway'ed here.)

I have sent out a newgroup message to correct my mistake. I'm sorry
for any problems this created.
