Stephen,

I'm confused. I don't think I've ever seen a newsgroup actually eliminated.
For example, several years ago, the cakewalk.* newsgroups were abandoned
after Cakewalk began its own news server. When Cakewalk dropped the server
in favor of a web forum, several hundred users who don't like web forums
were looking to begin an alt.* group. It turned out the old cakewalk.*
groups, long ago subject to removal requests, were still present, though
mostly inactive. They are now fully populated again, and even Google has
begun to re-archive them. How exactly will the bit.* groups actually be
eliminated?
