The five newgroups (alt.culture.[alaska|oregon],
alt.rock-n-roll.[classic|symphonic], alt.tv.infomercials) have made 
their way to the net and the groups are proceeding along.  Thanks to
Fred Polsky for issuing them, and thanks to everyone for their
understanding throughout this whole process.

No thanks to Mr. Kienenberger.  Mike, maybe one of these days you'll
be lucky enough to get a clue.  For your sake, I sure hope so.

Well, I wasn't sure whether to create these groups, but fortunately you've
clarified matters for me.

I've x'ed them out on our site.

Subject: Proposal : alt.tv.liquid-tv (Liquid Television)
Summary: Newbie suggests keen new alt.tv group. 
Keywords: mtv, liquid, animation, what?
Organization: University of Maryland, College Park
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1992 02:44:28 GMT

Hello everybody... I'm a newbie as well, so please hold off on the flames,
I have not-much of an idea of what I'm doing. :)
 
Browsing through the multitude of the alt.tv hierarchy, I was scanning
for a few shows I wouldn't mind seeing subs for.  I didn't find them, or
anything like them... the show in question is MTV's weekly half-hour
animation festival, Liquid Television.
 
So what I'm proposing is this, a sub called alt.tv.liquid-tv that handles
traffic about this show.  The show is fairly obscure, and the main reason
for having a sub instead of just cluttering up rec.arts.tv is that the
references and backgrounds of each animation clup are somewhat hard to
find unless you're a real cult fan of animation.  This group would be
handy for news, comments, critiques, and explanations.
 
For anybody who would like to see the show in order to see if it's
worthwhile, it's on MTV at 10pm Teusdays, and again at 5:30pm on Sundays.
 
Direct all feedback or ideas to me... flames aren't really appriciated,
and will probably be ignored unless they're constructive and worded with 
words more than four letters. :)  Comments like "I VOT NO, TTHE SHOW
SUX" are also ignored.
 
(BTW, if my proposal gets taken seriously and is accepted, please tell
me what I'm supposed to do next...)

If you dudes are really all hot for an alt.spam group, may I suggest
not creating another top-level hierarchy (Tim doesn't like those), and
go for the subgroup:

alt.fan.monty-python.spam

Also re: ALT.DATABASES.PARADOX, I don't think it's a good idea.  The "two
months" can be shortened to about 8 weeks according to the guidelines, and
besides it would still be ready before Paradox for Windows ever sees the
light of day.  Go mainstream, I say.

"Psychotronic" is a pretty well-known term within weird-movie fandom,
thanks mostly to Michael Weldon's movie guide and magazine of the same
name.  But we already have alt.cult-movies, which discusses this stuff all
the time without unnecessarily confusing people who've never heard that

No, we don't.  Not any more than we need comp.tv.snl or news.tv.snl,
for those sites which get those hierarchies but not us.* or alt.*.

If a site doesn't receive us.*, but they want to receive us.* groups,
it's completely up to them.

If a better case can be made for alt.tv.snl over us.culture.tv.snl (or

There are already several groups devoted to different aspects of the
fantasy genre.  Aside from the existing alt.fan groups, there's
alt.pub.dragons-inn and all of rec.arts.sf, which, being a mainstream
group, already gets better distribution than any alt.fan group could
hope for.  Further, if you see a solid need for additional groups,
they could probably be created under rec.arts.sf with relative ease.

I submit that there is no need for alt.fan.fantasy to be created; if it
were it would almost certainly be a poor shadow of the existing groups.
If you want an example of this in action, compare comp.dcom.telecom to
alt.dcom.telecom; the first group is far superior.

Don't you wish.  If you're going to propose new r-l groups, make sure
you consider what will be left for a.f.r-l, because it's going to be
around forever, just like every other alt.* group.  Rmgroups don't

Hey, there, sysadmins!  Would anyone like to create alt.org.pugwash?
Here's a one-line description for your files and a proposed charter.

alt.org.pugwash - Discussions of technological issues from a social stance

Proposed Charter for alt.org.pugwash:

Pugwash is an international organization founded by and dedicated to the
ideals of Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell in relation to the creation
of rational technology policy.  Student Pugwash USA has chapters in many 
High Schools and Universities, and there are similar organizations for
educational chapters in other countries.

At the 1992 Pugwash Chapter Organizing Workshop, it was decided, and thus
voted, that a UseNet newsgroup should be created for discussion of Pugwash
related topics.  It was further decided that I should try to create this
newsgroup.

Pugwash believes that people will make proper decisions if they think about
the social implications of their actions.  To this end, Pugwash suggests
open discussion about ethical concerns without excluding people for a supposed
lack of knowledge on their part.

About the alt.pugwash newsgroup:

It is a forum for people to bring up and discuss a wide variety of
Science, Society, and Technology issues.  Some sample topics discussed
at Pugwash meetings are:  Biotechnology, Overpopulation, Environmental
Pollution, and Biodiversity.  Many other topics lend themselves to
Pugwash discussion as well.

actually, even the stories that are posted to alt.vampyres
are not all horror, they jsut deal with vampires

and most of the discussion revolves aroudn the myths and legends
and possiblities of vampires and Anne Rice's books which are 
anything but horror, as well as Coppola's new movie

Excuse me...have you *read* r.a.sf.written?

If you do, you will discover a healthy disucssion of *many* 'Fantasy'
works (Steve Brust's _Jhereg_ and co. and the perennial Tolkein
discussion to name but two).

As for trying to define the split between Fantasy and Science Fiction,
don't even bother.  During the rec.arts.sf-lovers split (before it
became a meltdown), it was quickly demonstrated that such a
distinction is all but impossible to create without engendering
flame-wars along the lines of 'This is a Science Fiction group!  Get
that stupid Pern Fantasy out of here!' 'Shut your face!  Pern is
obviously Science Fiction!' ad nauseum.

Finally, keep in mind that in to many, the 'sf' means Speculative
Fiction, which encompasses both 'Fantasy' and 'Science Fiction'.

Jon,
I'm new to this game (day one of electronic mail), please bear with me. 
But as an INFJ you will have that compassion
You are an INFJ youwill be compassionate, I know.

I would be very in terested in talking type from
an Australian culture in mind, as well as to learn
about MBTI in an American sense.

If there is a BB already set aside can you please advise
me, otherwise, I will wait to hear from you.

Im an Australian in the personal/professional development
fields and have used the MBTI as a resource for about 18 months.

I'm also travelling to the States in March for an unlimited period
and it would be good to talk type whilst I'm away.

Hope to hear from anybody, especially those from America.

I am an ENTP so you can understand my objective honesty,
especially about type.

Norm
