I'll put in a yes vote.  Have you asked on rec.nude?  They may (or may not) be
interested.  Anyway, I think it would be a great idea as long as none of the
posted pictures were sexual.

alt.isea was also newgrouped by the news administrator of The Well, at
the behest of some coordinators for the International Symposium on
Electronic Art (for which the newsgroup is intended to distribute
information).  It was proposed in alt.config quite a long time ago (in
net.years).  I advised the author that such a group was likely to be
highly underused, and strongly recommended that they choose a more
descriptive name.  Apparently they didn't care.

I didn't bother to reply to this one.  I noticed a message in my
mailbox the other day about "Control message `newroup alt.hypnosis'
[sic] looks unsafe to execute," so I poked through control before I
found a "newroup" message for alt.hypnosis from taz@momad.uucp.  The
message body read, "Approved by e-mail vote."

This is not the first time I've seen a group created on the basis of
an "e-mail vote."  Where do these clowns come from?

In any case, I have not created alt.hypnosis here, and since Taz has
not indicated that they care to mention it in alt.config, I don't
intend to do so.

Date: 9 Nov 92 06:31:47 GMT
Organization: Glasgow University Computing Science Dept.

A couple of days ago I tried to create the newsgroup
alt.revolution.counter. I was using nn and posted using
the :post command.

I included header lines as follows:

>Control: newgroup alt.revolution.counter
>Newsgroups: control
>Subject: newgroup alt.revolution.counter
>Approved: monaghan@dcs.gla.ac.uk


The group showed up on my local machine, but to make sure that it
showed up beyond the UK (I understand the gateway is rather fussy
at times), I also followed the same procedure on another machine
outside the UK. There it was also created on the local machine.

However this newsgroup does not seem to have shown up anywhere else.
Why? I repeated the creation outside the UK with a Newsgroups:
line set to alt.config rather than control. Still no luck.

What am I doing wrong - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nils.

Howdy folks.  I'd like to propose a new aquarium - related newsgroup
called alt.cichlid, to deal (obviously) with the Family cichlidae
specifically.  Cichlid fishes are one of the most widely - kept groups
of tropical fishes, and this new group would facillitate those of us
with strong interests this way discussing the subject specifically,
rather than wading through the present aquarium newsgroups, which contain
primarily posts concerning beginner information requests and marine
aquaria.  Additionally, many cichlid fishes are the subject of scientific
inquiry, such as that performed here at the University of Maine.
Alt.cichlid could serve as a clearing house of cichlid related queries
from researcher to researcher and researcher to hobbyist.  Thanks for
your input!

Fascinating.  We didn't receive any proposal or discussion regarding

Perhaps you should, if you intend to create newsgroups at the drop of

Fine.  I'm still wondering where the proposal, justification, or
discussion for this group went.

That's too bad.  I guess next time you want a newsgroup to receive a
wider distribution, you ought to follow the appropriate procedures.

Well, for what it's worth, this is a "yes" vote.  I'd like to see more art on

How about alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.nice? :-)

Really, Tim's right. The posters of the hard-core pictures will just
say "they're certainly nude -- guess I'll post the pics here too." And

Empirically, no.  As you note, they are aliased at many sites, and a number
of sites simply don't carry the latter.

Historically, no, as well.  A.d-i was created originally with minimal
discussion on alt.config, and then the creator decided to replace it with
alt.pub.d-i, newgrouping the latter and rmgrouping the former.  Alt being
what it is, though, the old group stayed around at many sites, aliased at
some, unaliased at others.

If a significant number of readers of alt.dragons-inn really want a
separate forum, they should choose a name which clearly disambiguates
it from alt.pub.dragons-inn.  Alt.dragons-inn isn't such a name, and
never will be (alt, again, being what it is.)

Moving to a group with a different name will clearly separate the forums.
Of course, it doesn't prevent someone else from coming across an un-rmgrouped
a.d-i in the future, asking 'what's this group for?' and starting a *third*
forum.  But that's alt for you, so long as there are a few people out there
who insist that an alt group can never go away, and a larger number of admins
who don't turn off automatic newgrouping.

First off, I'd vote for alt.music.tmbg as first choice, alt.music.they-might-
be-giants as second choice, and the alt.fan groups lower.  Alt.fan groups
seem to be for people rather than groups--or should be.  Alt.music sounds more
like our hierarchy.

Second--are people aware that a TMBG mailing list already exists?  I subscribed
to it a while back, and a lot of people on there didn't want a newsgroup--they
would rather keep it as a mailing list.  The question is--if we do form a
newsgroup, will it kill the mailing list, or make it redundant?  Can somebody
on the mailing list perhaps mention that discussion is going on out here?

I'd rather have it as a newsgroup--I'm not that comfortable with the mailing
list format.  But it should be discussed, at least.

If it does get formed, I'll be there with bells on.  (And when I finally get my
"Fingertips" story written, I'll post it there...)

You're right: that statement was very misleading.  What I meant to say
is that people who post to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* are not
generally likely to make that distinction.  My apologies to any
naturists or nudists reading.

The group was not proposed by a naturist, nor does it have any visible
