Slack, Taunt, and Grey Trenchcoats! A few points about spam:

Spam, you can buy it, fry it, sling it, and Yes, even EAT it if you must.
Spam, the only savior with a list of ingredients! `
Spam, the one YOU can find in ANY grocery store, in ANY state and MANY nations!
Spam, TELLS you for CERTAIN when it goes bad!
Spam, something you can feed to your neighbors dog to make him or her smell bad

We do NOT quote directly from Monty Python, if we wishes to do this we would PO

Then it won't be created here at all.  Alt is not simply a stopgap
solution to the lengthiness of Usenet; once created,
alt.databases.paradox will never go away, no matter how much you try.
The solution will be worse than the problem, and I don't intend to

Not under that name, there isn't.  You don't create newsgroups just by
putting a dot everywhere a space appears in the subject you want to talk
about.  Newsgroup names are hierarchical, which means that
alt.saturday.night.live might find itself sharing the Net with
alt.saturday.afternoon.football and alt.saturday.night.fever.

I would like to ask for a group as stated for general fantasy authors.  I
have been complained to by others on sci-fi news groups and on specific

been a lot of support for a news group of this type.  I would appreciate

Actually the propogation is almost identical, with alt.rush-limbaugh

I think we should have a whole new heirachy, alt.spam.  Then we could
create:

alt.spam:
alt.spam.horror:
alt.spam.religion:
alt.spam.drug:
alt.spam.heads:
alt.spam.forsale:

etc.

  There already is such a group.

  It's called rec.arts.sf.written.

  Why do we need to duplicate a perfectly good main-hierarchy group in
alt?

Exactly, there are alt groups in my .newsrc that have a grand total of 10
articles/year I think an alt.tv.chips, or us.tv.chips or something.  A lot
of people just see the action and drama of Chips and fail to abstract
themselves to a higher level where Chips can be viewed on an alegorical
level.  This is why we should create a group for it.

I would believe that talk.environment would fulfill this need quite
nicely.  However, I only occasionally read the group, so please inform
me if I am wrong in making that statment.

Then in that case, have these regional party organizations find space
on regional hierarchies to carry on those discussions.  I believe the
idea behind net-wide hierarchies is to provide the best way to
accomodate everyone on the net as a whole.  However, my familiarity
with the Green Party leads me to believe that a single group for all
Greens world-wide simply would not work, due to not only the
previously-stated differences between the Greens in the U.S. and
Europe, but due to all the other differences that exist as well.

>Note also that your suggestion would leave out the

Well, I'm sure that Jyrki will eventually force alt.politics.canada
down our throats, if he hasn't already.  So there you go.  Form
alt.politics.canada.party.green.  Or possibly even something under
can.*, if the previous wouldn't work out.

Possibly because the general group would become obsolete when the
subgroups are formed, which will lead to the standard colossal flame
wars and/or rmgroup/newgroup wars.

	Not quite true.  Omar is a reader/poster to alt.romance.something and
alt.sex.erotica or something.

I think an alt.tv.chips group would be a great idea.  After all, there 
aren't that many other people in Claremont who I can mention
CHiPs around without getting badly flamed.  A new group would be perfect
for these discussions.  I'm all for it.

Get a clue.
The only valid newsgroup names containing the domain 'and'
are along the lines of 'alt.conjunctions.and' and
'alt.assembly.operands.and.'  Any group name using .and. as a
conjunction is right out.
