Yup.  He is quite a gem.  Some of his posts to isu.* newsgroups are truly
without equal.  I secretly think he was just tired of seeing iastate.edu
perennially behind psuvm.psu.edu in the posting stats...  Hmmm, I wonder

I will second this.  I am a fan of ASCII art, and would like to see what
others are doing in this under-rated field of artwork.  Admittedly it
would be a low-volume group, but it would still be interesting to some
people.  How many?  I don't know.  At least two, maybe more.  And cow
art postings would at least fit into it, and would be almost ignorable.

There is one very good reason for not creating moderated alt newsgroups,
and it's name is Bruce Becker.  I ran a moderated alt newsgroup
(alt.society.cu-digest) for many months that has since been converted
to a mainstream Usenet group (comp.society.cu-digest).  I intentionally
planned the changeover to be graceful and gradual so that people
wouldn't need aliases since aliases can wreak havoc on moderated
groups.  Now Bruce Becker comes along and tries to undo my work,
telling people to install an alias for it.

The irony of this situation is that I guess Bruce is trying to make
some point about alt not being a place for control freaks.  Yet he
totally destroys the ability for individuals to setup and manage alt
newsgroups, and creates more constraints and difficulty that any of
the so-called control freaks ever have.  I setup and ran an alt
newsgroup the way *I* wanted, with the consensus of net.readers.  When
I tried to tear down the group and relocate it, again with the consensus
approval of the readers, Bruce stuck his nose in and tries to tell
me what I can and cannot do.  Pshaw!

Until Santa Claus brings Bruce a clue, it would be best to avoid
moderated newsgroups in alt.

"Easily"? Get real! 

(If you think I'm over-reacting, take a look at alt.sources and count
how many of the postings actually contain source code. And if you feel
your stomach can take it, connect to some ftp site that still archives
alt.sources, and take a look at the recent flamewars about what is
appropriate and not on alt.sources, all of which was posted to
alt.source and not to a.s.d).

Nay!  In-jokes should be brought out in the open and propagated on a

That, after all, is what Altnet is all about.

Great idea!  This game has gotten almost a cult following at my school,
and I'm sure they would like this group.  We just started the first game
in December, and already there is another game (at least one) running
concurrently.  There is such a demand that the host for the game I'm
playing may host two concurrent games after the current one is finished.
Almost everyone has net access, and I could inform them of this call for
discussion.

It might not.  Ask your system manager to look into a ne.* feed if
you're interested in discussing New England matters.

No need to wait for Santa.  Here's how to set up a Bruce Proof Moderated
Group:

        a) When you set up your moderated newsgroup, choose a new account
           on your workstation/computer to have the articles for the group
           e-mailed.
           
        b) When the group is "extinct", set the forwarding address for the
           group to Bruce Becker.
           
        c) Encourage Bruce to keep the group alive.
        
        d) Post flames to alt.feminism with a "followup-to:" the old newsgroup.
        
See?  Becker Proof!
