Hmm.  The shows aren't grouped together when they're shown in the UK.  We
just get (say) Duck Tales or Gummi Bears on their own as part of children's
TV.

I saw what I take to be the Disney Afternoon set of shows in Belgium, but
they were on during the morning.

[ Aside: I understood Donald Duck better in French than in English.  Am I the
  only one who can't make out what that damn duck is saying? ]

So why keep the entirely spurious word "afternoon"?  Why not call it
alt.fan.disney.series, alt.fan.disney.tv or just alt.fan.disney?

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

BOLLOCKS.  BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION, your proposed group will not be limited
to Disney, and will not be limited to the Afternoon show or to shows shown 
in the afternoon.  Therefore alt.fan.disney.afternoon is NOT AN ACCURATE 
NAME.

It's a generic name, really.  Most of your questions do hold true.  The
lineup changes every year, usually the oldest show gets dropped and a new
one gets added on.  Not all shows get shown in other parts of the world
tho many of them are shown in other countries (I'm glad you didn't tell me
it was just an American thing -- I got real tired of hearing that one).

Basically, we're talking about any shows that have been or will be shown on
the Disney Afternoon, regardless of what time slot they're shown in -- in
fact, many FOX affiliates are breaking up the Disney Afternoon shows and
are showing them at all times of the day because they've committed the Warner
lineup (Batman, et al) to the afternoon time slot.  Also, any topic even
remotely relevent should be discussed, including merchandising, movies,
speculation, influences, etc.  I'm doing this for those who can't deal with
the high volume of mail on the mailing list.

So this includes Gummi Bears, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers,
Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers! and Aladdin so far.
Thanks for reminding me; I think I'll go send the control message now.  :-)

How accurate does the name have to be?  I think talking about other
Disney TV shows (e.g., THE WUZZLES or WINNIE THE POOH) wouldn't stretch
the charter of the group beyond repair (Besides, Disney is committed to
the "Disney Afternoon" project for at least the next three seasons).
A rose by any other name, and all that.

I agree about the mail.  Don't use a mailing list unless the
group is small (and it wouldn't stay that way, now would it?
:-).  Also, I am in the same position as some others -- my site
doesn't get alt groups.  So if there is a separate entity, my
vote is to make it a regular newsgroup.

At the moment I have seen a couple of people say that the group hasn't

  And as of right now we are up to message #12 on this system, eight of
which are on what brand of beer real bikers drink. We get a 56kb NNTP
feed from uunet, so I don't think we're missing anything.

  When I created this group I didn't intend it to last after the new
group got started, but I think this one better stay around a bit longer,
because there are a lot of systems without it. Maybe one more month,
until the schools get back to normal operation and do a checkgroup using
Spaf's excelent list.

  Maybe bring it up around the 1st of October? The question is not IF we
change, but WHEN we change. And I suggest anyone removing it create an
alias rather than just blowing it away, so traffic doesn't get lost
completely.
