Flaming liberal and perennial net favorite John Palmer has taken upon
himself to remove this group - it actually makes sense.  Now, instead
of deleting news articles that he doesn't like, which can prove
embarassing when he claims to offer an "uncensored feed" he just
removes entire news groups he doesn't like.

Bruce Becker, on the other hand, considers rmgroups the Spawn of
Satan, and will do anything to prevent one from going through,
including, I assume, hunting down and shooting someone who tries it
too often.  Hence the ping pong.

My vote is on Becker: he's got an automated "newgroup" maker, which is
what's happening when you see a "newgroup" that looks just like an
"rmgroup" which went by - he's forging them automatically.   Palmer,
on the other hand, if past performance is any indication, is going to
have to beg help in order to make a rmgroup message that bypasses
Becker.

Could someone please help me figure out how to send a new group?

I'm still trying to create alt.emulators.ibmpc.apple2 that I proposed
here about three weeks ago.  I got some positive e-mail replies and
there weren't any vehemently opposed posts, so I figured I should go
ahead and send a new group.  The problem is I don't know how.

So, can anyone please give me a hand?  Thanks alot!

Ask your system managers to grab rec.*, or at least
rec.radio.shortwave.  If you can find a willing system manager, you
can also have rec.radio.shortwave forwarded to you in e-mail.

Not if you're writing it yourself.  You couldn't even get your
automatic Cat-Talk posting to work.  It's going to do something nasty
like try to rmgroup everything.  At which time you'll a) claim it
didn't happen, b) say it happened but it was an accident, c) claim
they are forgeries and make some suggestions.  This ain't multiple
choice, either, we're talking about a nice clean progression here.

If I can remind you all of Jym's original posting for just a second
here:

! =+= I propose the name alt.politics.green-party rather than
! the simpler alt.politics.green, since the media (in the U.S.,
! at least) uses "green" for anything vaguely ecological.  The
! more explicit name will hopefully keep folks from thinking
! it's another talk.environment type of newsgroup.

In light of this, I think all of the comments above are extremely
bogus.

Technically, the American Green Party is a separate entity from their
European counterparts, though modeled after it.  I would suggest
alt.politics.usa.party.green and alt.politics.europe.party.green. 
This would allow for full-fledged party-based sub-hierarchies to
develop (I was working on such a proposal, but my obligations to the
real world have kept me from dealing with it).

Just as an aside, I would not support putting the Perot group under
this sub-hierarchy, as they are not recognized as a political party in
a single state (whereas the Green Party is recognized in about a half-
dozen states).

That's right.  I don't think that us.* is some kind of private club --
anyone can get a feed of it if they want it, just like any other
regional hierarchy.   That sounds better than a group which simply won't
get read by 30% of alt subscribers (that's a minimum 30%).

You've actually raised an interesting concept with this discussion.  The
concept of what the "USENET" really is.  Each site can manipulate "USENET"
into it's own image, more or less.  For example, if somebody makes a group
called "alt.monkeyboys", I can choose to carry the group; to not carry the
group; or to carry the group but alias it to something else.  So nobody
really has any "power" over the USENET, with the exception of the influence
over one's downstream sites.  But given the reality of several Internet feed
sites that many sites have, even that "power" has been diluted.

So when I see newgroups/rmgroups for alt.graphics week after week, for example,
I have to ask myself why anyone bothers.  But, then again, if they didn't
have the illusion of this exercise, they might be out participating in gangs,
selling drugs and getting into all sorts of REAL trouble. ;-)

Please, resist the urge. There is an ongoing discussion on rec.arts.fantasy
which should be allowed to go to completion. As pointed out there, there are
several reasons for not having a separate group for fantasy and there are
sufficient newsgroups for people interested in this topic to use now. (e..g.
rec.arts.sf.written). There is no need to further fracture the namespace with
a newsgroup which duplicates the charter for another group. Have patience

I think a lot of people would pop into the newsgroup from time to time, but
I can't imagine too many people subscribing to a loveboat mailing list.
Whether/not a newsgroup is appropriate, I think a mailing list is not.

I question (a) the placing of the name (is anyone surprised?) and (b)
the choice of the word "psychotronic."  Is this a well-known term
within the field?  If so, then I have no problem with it ... I simply
wasn't aware that there was a term other than "pulp" to describe this
genre.

Then I think that something like alt.movies.psychotronic would be more
appropriate.  It would at least narrow down the meaning of
"psychotronic" for new users or people unfamiliar with the term.

A moment ago, you said that it's used mainly in dealing with films.

In addition, e-mail to the person that issued the newgroup command bounced.

Distribution: world
Organization: like communism, but nicer.


	This is a proposal for ALT.PSYCHOTRONIC, a news group
dedicated to the discussion of psychotronic films, art, and
literature. 
	
	The term "psychotronic" is used mainly in dealing with
films. More specifically, those films also known as "B",
exploitation, grindhouse, drive-in, and low-budget. These films
deal with psycho killers, rock-n-roll, out of control teenagers,
alien or commie invaders, bikers, drugs, mad scientists,
international spies, women in bikinis, men in gorilla suits, and
a multitude of other topics. **

	Psychotronic has moved into the areas of art (in the
form of movie posters), pulp literature, comic books, and is
slowly making its way into everyday life just by virtue of being
"different".

	This topic is unsuitable for ALT.CULT-MOVIES because
this is an entire genre, and not just a few specific films. In
fact, new films are churned out by Hollywood on a monthly basis
that fit into the psychotronic category, not to mention the
thousands of movies made since the 1940's.

	This topic does not belong in any of the other .MOVIES
or .FILM groups because it is much more than a film movement.
Those groups would only get cluttered with talk not related to films.


	Let me know (by email) what you think, and I'll tally
the results to see if it warrants further development.
