First off, for the people who didn't see my original article: I am proposing creation of alt.fusion to carry discussions of the Utah cold-fusion experiment in one place. My apologies for the wide cross-posting; the groups mentioned are either concerned with newsgroup creation or are locations where fusion discussion is currently occurring. So far, the proposal has generated a small amount of favorable response, and an even smaller amount of unfavorable replies. To address the concerns of people who would like to see one place for fusion discussions but do not receive the alt.* heirarchy, I am announcing here my willingness to provide digests of the newsgroup for these people. For those who are wondering, "why an alt newsgroup", I feel that the experiment with alt.next indicated that a newsgroup can be created quickly in alt in response to a hot topic and then either aliased to a 'mainstream' group, ala comp.sys.next, or deleted if the topic dies down. -- Scott Hazen Mueller scott@zorch.UU.NET (408) 298-6213 (pyramid|tolerant|uunet)!zorch!scott
