I was a bit pissed to see you "propose to send out a newgroup", which
to me suggests you're still inviting discussion, and then see you
do it five hours later.  I'm also not thrilled with the name; I
suspect alt.education.authorware would be better.

However, the idea for the group isn't per se bad, and the name isn't
that bad, so I created it.  It hasn't seen *any* traffic yet.

I recommend you find out what your news admin's problem is.  I for one
would rather see the current group used instead of a new one being
created (vis the dreamers who thought alt.dragons-inn would actually
go away).

The problem with "Lovecraft" is that people are less likely to make
the connection, especially if part of the reason for the group is to
get them out of alt.folklore.ghost-stories.  Besides,
"lovecraft-mythos" is too long.  "cthulhu-mythos" just fits.

I'll be happy to go with "cthulhu-mythos", but I don't see that it
really widens the scope of discussion significantly, and I think that
any group created for Cthulhu discussion would inevitably spread to
the Re-Animator, the Necronomicon, and other Lovecraftian tales.

Lemurs are furry animals, are they not?  Perhaps they should go under
alt.fan.furry.  However, I'll admit I know very little about lemurs, and
less about lemur fandom.   In fact, just about all I do know is that the
submission guidelines for _Furrlough_ magazine say "no lemurs".  Perhaps
you or "net.spy" could explain this.  Any objection to alt.fan.furry.lemurs?
Is there a lemur mailing list?

Subject: PROPOSAL: alt.games.frp.live-action
Date: 13 Oct 92 20:27:10 GMT
Organization: The Great Beyond

This is a proposal for the creation of the group
alt.games.frp.live-action

This unmoderated group will be devoted to discussion
of all facets of live-action gaming. Discussion can
include, but is, of course, not limited to: 

Announcements of Upcoming Games
War Stories (that is, what happened in a given game)
Rules Mechanics
Reviews of Games

All of the different forms of live-action games are
open for discussion. This includes the Interactive 
Literature Foundation (ILF) / Society for Interactive
Literature (SIL) style, as well as the International
Fantasy Gaming Society (IFGS) style. Other styles
are also welcome.

While there is some discussion of Live-Action gaming on
the rec.games.frp hierarchy, those groups are not completely
appropriate to this. The first reason is that there are more
and more live-action gamers who are not interested in 
traditional table-top games. The second reason is that, while
at least one of the live-action societies has a mailing
list, there is vey little "cross-pollination" of 
announcements. The third reason is that live-action gaming 
is a growing hobby, and this will allow potential players
who are not yet familiar with the hobby to gain exposure to it.

I will allow at least a week for discussion of this 
before creating the group.

Or within the groups themselves. They're pretty quiet these days.

>We must unite and stand for the principles all lemurs hold dear!  

What principles? How do you DARE insinuate that *ALL* lemurs share a
common moral thread? This kind of broad, sweeping generalization is going
to get you in read trouble, buck-o. You can't just put a label on "all"
lemurs, putting them all under one metaphorical umbrella. There ARE
special-interest groups you know.

I sense quite possibly the need for alt.politics.lemurs.democrat, 
alt.politics.lemurs.republican, and so on, or (probably a much better 
solution) we could scrap this whole lemur hierarchy deal and move the
related discussions to talk.politics.animals.

Who's with me?

"usa" is better than "us"; it already exists.  Other than that, I'd
suggest letting "presidential" be "federal"; "presidential" and all

For those of you who don't know: Ayrton Senna is the most dangerous man in
F1.  He has admitted to deliberately crashing into people when doing so
would help his position in the standings, and he is well hated by other F1

I have recently gotten active in reading some of the talk.politics.*
newsgroups.  And as I read, I can't help but wonder what is considered
relative to public network.  So many of the cult network news readers
seem to be using groups like these to take their personal arguements
and correspondence with other usenet junkies onto a public forum.

I have noticed discussions that get into personal attack and fly off
onto tangents completely unrelated to the newsgroup's topic.  I was
wondering what policy was in regards to valid posts and what other
peoples opinions were of such personal misuse of a public network.

I am all for free speech and such, but I think there is a place and
a time for everything, and when bandwidth keeps getting greater and
greater every day (our sight just went from a 7 day to a 5 day hold
on news articles) I think that a lot of material on these groups could
be much better handled on email.  Leaving the truly appropriate general
interest topics for the rest of the net to read.

  After lengthy planning and help from the creator of the original alt.pub
(the dragons-inn) I hearby propose a new pub group tentatively called  alt.pub.
Havens-rest.  This new group would essentially be similar to the dragons-inn  
but will deal with characters in a Sci-fi setting.  Some things already
decided.
   Purpose:   To set a place for beginning and finding people interested in
            Sci-Fi PBM, to have a place for Sci-Fi based
            interactive stories, and to just comment on stories already in 
            progress
   Fictional history of the Havens-rest
         Many years in the future, the Colony ship "The Haven" got caought
       in a tear dimensional tear while traveling through hyperspace and was
       thrown to a interdimensional space.  In this space was an alien
       (and abvandoned it seemed) artificial planetoid.  The settlers thought
       this was as good a place as any to settle down and did.
   General Rules: No Flaming,Massive rearranging of other peoples settings,
                 only periodic vast alien menaces, no 'real' sci-fic. 
                 character (AKA no kirk,Pikard,Han Solo,the Doctor,etc...), at
                 the moment no time travel (to many paradoxes)
   Setting: Havens-rest: the bar itself, built out of the ruins of the original
                        landing site of the "Haven"
            The Complex: About the size of the moon, littered with tunnels of
                        different types and structure, open for exploration,
                         alternatively called the Labrinth or the Warren.
            the Colony: Still need a good name for this, open to suggestions.
            Surrounding: The interdimensional space is littered with wormholes
                        dimesional rifts, and other little anomalies that can
                        anyone, anywhere, though some are already explorwed, 
                        there are still billions left.  Sometimes refered to
                        as Grand Central Station, the general joke about it
                        has been forgotten by the settlers.
   thats about it.  please post followups to alt.config or alt.pub.dragons-inn
or email them to me. (names for the places are not set.  If you have a better
idea for a name, tell me, I might use it.)

Please learn to distinguish between "encouragement" and "coercion."
Usenet has lots of the former and almost none of the latter.
Newsgroup charters encourage correct article placement.  However,
nothing coerces such placement.  Therefore, KILL files are a highly
recommended tool of survival on Usenet.

saves disk space on many systems and reader time on all systems.  It
