I can make mistakes ya know.  I created mod.computers.gould because I
misread the list that Erik Fair sent to me.  He is the one setting up
the gateways, and I was creating groups that I thought he was gatewaying
based on current gateways.  It turns out I created about 4 groups that
were not currently being gatewayed into "net" groups -- they will be
deleted.

Pick another target for abuse, please.
