A whole hierarchy of silly postings is to be preferred to silly postings to the news hierarchy: this way, we can keep our eye on them. In fact, the groups (aside from alt.weemba) were created just for the sake of silliness, not for posting. Perhaps we could just remove all but alt.weemba or alt.weemba.sheep? >For example, theres alt.flame.weemba, and alt.weemba.flame. Besides this >ridiculous duplicity, there is already an alt.flame. I thought it was a bit redundant at first myself. But the more flame groups there are, the more groups we can flame horrible solecisms like yours in, a social good worthy enough to delight Jerry Bentham. >As I understood it, there was a process to go through for the creation of a >new newsgroup, and I have a hard time believing that these groups were >created through that process. >Please correct me if I'm wrong. You are dead wrong. Not that it matters. -- ucbvax!garnet!gsmith Gene Ward Smith/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720 "Without NNTP, the brahms gang itself would be impossible" Erik E. Fair
