	I know we are not all running C-news but. All that's necessary
to stop alt.graphics is alias it to comp.graphics and then forget
about it.

My thanks to the many people who have pointed out various ways of
turning off alt.graphics and keeping it shut off, without email
being generated.  Thanks also to those who are posting Becker's
paths.  Perhaps his weekly forgeries will finally be enough to
get him removed from the net.

For Terry, all I have is something to think about: anarchy does
not mean no rules, it means no rulers.

1] I hate to repeat myself but like ravi says the lady needs to seriously
   look for a sense of humour.
   Interpreting ravis "And so will you [expire]" comment as a form of 
   harassment smells like mean spirit. :-) :-)
   Someone flames you, you flame back.
   And you give it everything you got :-)
   See, its that simple.

   But then again like someones .esig says : "Just because your paranoid doesnt
   mean they arent out to get you."

Okay, sorry for the re-post, but I'm really looking for a feed.
I have more information about the groups I wish to carry:

alt.bbs.*
alt.binaries.*
ald.cd-rom
alt.censorship
alt.conspiracy.*
alt.dreams
alt.drugs
alt.fan.*
comp.bbs.waffle
comp.dcom.telecom
comp.doc
comp.mail.uucp
misc.forsale.*
ny.*
nyc.*
rec.arts.*
rec.humor.*
rec.music.gdead
sci.philosophy.meta
soc.*
talk.*


If you are in New York, ad would like to help out, I would really
appreciate it.

I do not want to resort to a pay-feed, since I want to keep my usenet BBS
as a PUBLIC ACCESS usenet site, and don't want to have to charge users.

I'm makinug it public access so that more people can be
turned on to the wonders of the net.

Of course, I will have a very strict policy
to keep offensive material out.
and abusers will not be tolerated.

Please send email to TAZZIE@CUP.PORTAL.COM

We're using B News 2.11.

Earlier this year, I un-subscribed our site from a number of newsgroups in an
effort to trim our UUNET bill. However, I just peeked at our log file this
morning and it says:

	[... massive amounts of stuff deleted...]

	Oct 12 08:26	uunet	Newsgroups in active, but not sys
	Oct 12 08:26	uunet	received <1992Oct06.004707.9101@sco.com> ng rec.music.reviews,rec.music.industrial,rec.music.misc subj 'Review: Nine Inch Nails - Broken' from awrc@dcs.ed.ac.uk (Al Crawford)
	Oct 12 08:26	uunet	Newsgroups in active, but not sys

	[... massive amounts of stuff deleted...]

Actions I've done to unsubscribe:
- inserted an "!" in front of the newsgroup I wish to unsubscribe in "sys"
- deleted directories of groups we don't subscribe to any more from
  /usr/spool/news - there are nothing in those directories.
- done nothing with the "active" file

What does the log message mean? Are we still recieving articles from these
groups? Have I completely/correctly unsubscribe from these groups? The Nutshell
book "Managing UUCP and Usenet" offers no further suggestions.

What gives?? Please respond by Email and I'll post if others are having the same
problem.

	I know we are not all running C-news but. All that's necessary
to stop alt.graphics is alias it to comp.graphics and then forget
about it.

That's how the message appeared here, no body but the .sig...

But based purely on the subject, I have to agree.  Will the Powers
That Be please track down the cretin who's forging the newgroups
and force a clue down his throat?
