I agree totally with this remark.  For starters it would make it even easier forpersons looking for binaries to get them.  There would be no need to dig throughthe other articles that are posted.

The only concern would be, how many people would start uploading and downloadingbinaries as opposed to actually conversing on matters within this group.

Well 'The Powers To Be' should take theis consideration into account and give ita try.  Why not alt.supermodels.pics!!!

The ORIGIN of Superman was not stolen from Doc Savage (I'm a Doc fan) or from
any book.  The IDEA of a SUperman os something else.  There is a book entitled
_Gladiator_ (don't recall the author) Which many consider an inspiration for
Superman.  It was adapted in a Marvel b/w mag as Man-God.  It was also a 
direct inspiration for the "Iron" Munro character (The superhuman of Gladiator
was his father) from DC's _Young All-Stars_ series.  A lot of ideas from DOc
was incorporated into the Superam 'mythos' in the 50s.  Stuff like the Fortress
of Solitude, having a superpowered female cousin, being a surgeon/scientist/etc.

Hope this helps.

It has been assumed by everyone that Clark was killed or is miss-

in the destruction, everyone assumed Clark is missing or dead.

Shot, I grew up reading Superman (and The FLASH and Batman), DC Comics
were the greatest. It is a real shame to have SuperMan killed off just

Hello, I would like to express my support for the renaming of alt.dragons-inn,
(not alt.PUB.dragons-inn, mind you) to alt.pub.cloven-shield.  At the very
least, create the group alt.pub.cloven-shield.  I cannot receive the posts
from alt.dragons-inn, because my sysadmin forwards the articles to alt.pub..
I dont have time to sift through all the articles in APDI, and would really
benefit from a new group.  I have been really anxious to join the party at
alt.dragons-inn, but y'all are making it difficult for me  (note that the y'all
is a very general y'all...)  A differently named newsgroup would (hopefully)
enable me to receive the posts on my own accord, and therefore make it easier
for me to participate.

I hope the renaming/creating goes through!!

Uh, a little late Melinda.  BTW it is a change from alt.dragons-inn
to alt.pub.cloven-shield, NOT from alt.PUB.dragons-inn.
All groups of this type should be of the form alt.pub.*, and
there is an alt.pub.dragons-inn already.  The change saves
people from confusion and give a.p.c-s an identity independant
from a.p.d-i.

Moot point, anyway.

I now have alt.drugs and alt.psychoactives. I'll probably add more *slowly*
so as not to risk upsetting some people. I'll feed them to any uk site
via mail or NIFTP (JANET). May be able to manage Internet FTP via nsfnet-relay
and we will have a direct internet connection within a few months.

Of course I could just feed all the groups back into uknet and see what
happens. They don't block messages from uk nodes strangely enough...

In this case I was mistaken. (it does happen upon occasion)  I was really
looking for a newsgroup on the writing of fantasy rather than discussions
of published works.

Fer cryin' out loud, alt.net.personalities was created specifically for flaming
hairy douchebags out on the net.  Why don't you take it there?  You don't
have to newgroup or rmgroup anything.

Big Al.  Trying to drum up business.

That was _my_ idea for the Catch-22 newsgroup.  Here it is:           
alt.flame.hairy-douchebag.natelys-whore.

But I vote yes on any Catch-22 newsgroup, because my missions have been
raised to 75.

Hmmmm.  Sounds like a wonderful idea, but I have to wonder how many questions
will ever get answered....

Nevertheless, let's do it.  After all, this is alt.net, not some tight-ass
Major Hierarchy.

BTW, in alt.config, YOU are in charge of group creation.  If people like your
group, you have the responsibility of issuing a newgroup, or finding someone
to do it for you.  There is no one "in charge of" anything, except Bruce
Becker, who is in charge of being an irremediable asshole and making
news.admins' lives miserable.

(This article sent by email as well, in case the poster of the original
article does not subscribe to this group, in which case he will find it
difficult to determine how much support his proposal is receiving....)

There are so many irritating posts already here that yours won't make
any noticable difference. So go ahead.

(BTW, I've created the group here, so someone somewhere has issued a
control message.)
