Yup, pick a better one. :-)

The topic is fine, but I'd suggest something a lot more meaningful for
the name, how about:

alt.comp.distributed.simulations

it doesn't break the naming conventions (no element more than 14 chars)
and also means you get an alt.comp.distributed hierarchy into the
bargain. 

Cheers,

well, personally I'm for the creation of a broad group that will discuss 
anything related to the Cthulhu Mythos, including other Lovecraft stories,
Lovecraft trivia, "Call of Cthulhu" roleplaying game, and any other 
somewhat relevant matters. I don't want the group to be just restricted
to the discussion of the Big C itself. :)

I know there is enough support for a Cthulhu group to call for its creation.
I personally know many people who'd be really interested. All we need now
is the right name and a charter.

Seeing how the usenet world is quickly seeping into the day-to-day
lives of universities and colleges across the US, it seems only
appropriate that national fraternities have an easy way to keep
in touch with alumni who go off and get jobs that have net access.
(and, of course, chapters at different campuses)

Kappa Delta Rho is a fraternity who's membership is filled with
EE/CE/EE/CIS majors, and we'd like to have a newsgroup where we
can just keep in touch.

I realize that this may seem like a closed-group idea, but it's not.
Anyone would obviously be welcome to discuss whatever they like.

  From the title, I expect that it deals more with Cyberpunk style than 
anything else.  Alt.pub.havens-rest would deal with more 'epic' types of Sci-fi
 in the styles of such movies as Star Wars and the television shows star trek
and battlestar galatica.  Also characters developed from such games as 
battletech, Renegade legion, and other like minded Sci-fic RPG (Mega-Traveller,
Star wars the RPG, Robotech, etc...)  Much different though i guess i'd better

Sure, if that were the case, that WOULD be rude.  But the "USE A KILLFILE" cry

trying to take over another newsgroup for their postings by flooding it with

Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 07:42:06 GMT

Following the strong support from a.m.a and r.m.i for the creation of
a group dedicated to discussing the recent rise of hard loud guitar
music (often generically called hardcore). I propose the creation
of a group dedicated to discussing this style of music.

alt.music.hardcore

Alt; because this music is definitely considered alternative, with most
hardcore groups being totally unknown to the commercial, mainstream
music listeners. 

music.hardcore; to distinguish between hardcore pornography and the
like.

Many people posting to a.m.a and r.m.i listen and discuss hardcore.
The high volume of postings in these other two groups, of music
that is not even remotely hardcore, make it difficult and tedious to
pick out only interesting hardcore discussions. At the moment, most 
of these discussions tend to take place in r.m.i. I don't think that
this group is suitable for much of the hardcore discussions, which
may only sound remotely industrial.

Hardcore is a loose classification for a style of loud guitar based
music. There are many hundreds of bands that fit this category and
so room for much discussion. 

The only other nearly relevant group, alt.thrash now deals
primarily with heavy Metal, and Death metal. These styles are
not considered hardcore by most people, including the local
alternative music shop, which has separate sections for both
metal and hardcore music. If a shop has different sections,
then we should have a separate news group!

If you like: Therapy?, Melvins, Ministry, Skrew, Rollins Band,
Nirvana, Mudhoney, Godflesh, TAD, Tar, Unsane, Distorted Pony,
Malhavoc, God Bullies, Neurosis, Lard, Pailhead, Helmet .....etc....

The list is very long, but you should get the message.

VOTE for alt.music.hardcore

There is a need!!!!!

BTW if anybody wants to flame me, keep in mind that I like techno *and*

I regularly post to alt.rave, alt guitar, and rec.music.industrial.
I doubt I'd ever post to a hardcore group, but I bet I can play a meaner

The recent alt.oobe newgroup was not a forgery by Bruce Becker in Gary
Trujillo's name.  alt.oobe was originally created without any
discussion in alt.config, and it was eventually decided that the
newsgroup's name should be alt.out-of-body.  Shortly thereafter,
alt.out-of-body was created and alt.oobe rmgrouped, which was an
uncivilised thing to do.  If you have alt.out-of-body on your
system, please alias it to alt.oobe.

If you have any doubts as to which of these messages is a forgery,
please do not write to me or Gary (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us).  It would be
rather easy for Becker to forge a return letter from either or both of
us.

I've been asked by some people at a site which has newsgroup problems
to ask for a re-newgrouping of the rec.games.mud.* groups, and also
the following alt. groups:

alt.fan.paws
alt.angst.xibo.sex

I can't issue newgroups myself, but as these groups are desired by people
out there, perhaps someone can help.
