I need help gatewaying a list, and everyone said to write Jim McIntosh, but a formal message from his address at American U says he is out of it now, and that I should write [log in to unmask], and nobody answers queries (or hasn't in a couple of days). Is anybody there? Should I write him at the private address listed in the message? Should I just hope to get a response from American U? Is there a way to contact Penn State (which I understand actually runs the gateway?) And -- anybody here have an answer to the question -- if I gate the list, does it have to be in the format bit.listserv.[some name]? If I put a message on bit.admin that said I wanted to call it alt.health.[some name], that won't work then, will it? so do I have to put another message on? That site appears to be dead as a doornail. does anybody know anything about this? Should I try a different discussion list? Mary Schweitzer
