The important thing to understand is that the SYNCHRONET echo on FidoNet and the alt.bbs.synchronet newsgroup are already gated to each other (here on Vertrauen). If you're going to use Newsgate to gate alt.bbs.synchronet to FTN, it's important that it gets distributed via FTN with an echo-tag *other* than SYNCHRONET. I have no objection so long as that's understood.
