  I am not an expert on gatewaying a list to a newsgroup, but
I believe that while there is a one-to-one relationship between
an email distribution list and its gatewayed usenet group,
e.g., the list HWY61-L and its usenet group: BIT.LISTSERV.HWY61-L
that doesn't mean that someone can't start either a new list (with
or without a gateway to a usenet group) or a new independent usenet
group, as long as they give the list/group a name that is different
from the one you use, e.g. RTE61-L for a list and perhaps
REC. ... RTE61   for an independent usenet group.
