Okay, here's an objection.  I don't want to have to argue with asshole
net.nazis when I make a post about something like merchandise related
to the Disney Afternoon, which is obviously not TV.

I'm just concerned about how many possible readers you would get.  There are
groups like sci.classics (classical studies), sci.math, and sci.archaeology
that are really not sciences per se, but ARE academic departments with well-
defined topics of discussion.  Like architecture.  The sci hierarchy is
well-respected as a forum for serious discussion, whereas alt isn't.

So I don't see membership in sci as a drawback; rather, it's an asset.
Consider that your group under alt would, in my newsrc, be right next to
alt.alien.visitors.  Hmmmm....

Consider that after 2 months of quality postings in a.a, someone will pipe
up "Let's go mainstream!"  And then a sci.architecture group will likely
pass anyway, leaving you with 2 separate architecture groups.

Just a thought.

Please do.  As the original creator, I must apologize.  I did receive the

to my news administrator.  Again, I apologize for the confusion and grant
personal invitation (not that that really matters) to recreate it as
alt.org.cesium.  

I will speak with my local news admin about changing it, unless someone else

Because this is one of those situations where the name itself transcends
its meaning.  The "Disney Afternoon" refers to a certain set of shows,
regardless of what time they're shown.

> So let's make it alt.fan.disney.

Let's not.  Especially since I don't consider myself a fan of Disney
in general.  Besides, if you created this group, I'm sure they'd
discuss much of the same stuff they discuss on rec.arts.disney, which
is mostly the theme parks with occasional smatterings of the movies.
But if you wish to create this group, then be my guest.

More to the point...what was the purpose of creating

alt.politics.democrats.senators

alt.politics.democrats.congress

alt.politics.democrats.ted.kennedy.naked.drunk.debauchery.family-values

etc.?

I got at least three or four alt.politics.democrats.* groups to choose
from the other day, and I think its a bit of overkill.

There's already too much overlap between the .bush and .clinton
groups...we don't need groups so incredibly specialized like those
mentioned above...what real difference is there going to be between
discussions in the .congress (or was it .house) and .senate groups?

And where are the equivalent republican groups? :)

Whereas here, we don't honor newgroups from kp@cs.HUT.FI (Jyrki
Kuoppala).  Oh, we'd like to, but the only way we could would be to
go to auto-newgrouping in order to keep up!

How does he find time in the day to create all of those groups, anyway?

No, I just don't want the group dominated with talk of Euro-Disney

The terms I use are entirely accurate.
Those who'll be interested in discussion on the group will immediately
know what it's for.  Those who don't, just need ask.

That's not what I said.  I said relevent topics were appropriate.

You can use this argument for many existing groups already on the net.

Being a FAQ poster, I occasionally get letters from totally lost new persons
on the net looking for assistance.  Very recently, I got a letter from 
someone who asked me what was the purpose of "news.announce.newusers" was and
was rather disappointed when I told him the answer.

See, he thought it was where new users on the net introduced themselves.
I suggested he try soc.singles or soc.penpals....

Not true! I envision *everyone* on alt.lurker lurking, to make it a
special place for all those lurkers out there... a group set aside just
for them. Therefore: everyone will be lurking, and no one will be posting.
Obviously, if someone posts to the group, they aren't a "true lurker"
and we therefore are imposing a self-moderation for the group, much like
alt.hackers. Because of the low traffic on the group (much like that of
alt.fan.gooley) this shouldn't pose many diskspace restraints on 
systems carrying the group; maybe a single block for the empty directory.
But alt.lurker would have the great benefit of giving identity to all of
those poor lurkers out there. 

More suggestions, please!

I would like to cast a strong YES vote to this proposal. I am not
normally in favor of specific goups for individual artists but since
no one can pull their head out and get a usenet progressive group
started this may be the best way to keep up on the groups that mean

alt.music.marillion:

Purpose: For discussion of the group Marillion, their music, and assorted
related bands, such as Fish, How We Live, and The Europeans

Why?: Within the past year, alt.music.rush and alt.music.queen have
popped up amidst arguments that both groups have thriving mailing
lists. The same holds true for Marillion. However, the moderator
of "Freaks", Graham Orndorff, has repeatedly ignored requests to
add people to the list. While I'm sure Graham has done a great
job with Freaks, fact is that there are numerous Marillion fans
who want access to the list, but simply cannot get it. Alt.music.marillion
will fill that void.
 
Also, Marillion remains one of the most popular progressive rock bands,
especially on college campuses. Since USENET serves the vast majority
of college, there is no doubt in my mind that this group will thrive, as
alt.music.rush and alt.music.queen have.
