This thread developed from someone being worried about the future of the Alt newsgroup, "alt.chinchillas" when the rec.pets.rodents.chinchillas ( Yuk, what a bloated name ) failed. The ensuing arguments migrated towards the currently fashionable discussion of why and how Usenet newsgroups RFDs/CFVs affect/do not affect similar alt.groups when the Usenet group creations are successful. ( See the "alt.drugs" threads for the daddy-of-them-all in this Usenet/Altnet newgroup/rmgroup flamefest ). I tried retitling the thread to the subject "rmgroups" but it seems that the title " RESULT: rec.pets.rodents.chinchillas fails 58:26? " is a far more interesting and attractive subject title than "rmgroups" which isn't a proper English word anyway - just jargon. And...now that we are in nitpicking mode...this lop-sided Ascii Parrot in your Sig has offended my artistic sensibilites long enough in your postings, therefore I have done a more symmetrical revision of your parrot. If you wish to continue with your original version then you should propose the creation of the following newsgroup: "rec.animals.pets.birds.distorted.ascii.parrots" Hah !!! > _...._ > / \ > / o _ o Thanks. > ( \/ ) Michael Harmon > ) ( par...@pipeline.com > ( - - - ) Parrot Consulting > ( ) & Software > ( ) New York City > [ ] > -----------------/l\ /l\------------------- > owner.powerbuilder.mailing.list > ------------------------------------------ > ( ) > ( __ _) _...._ / \ / o __ o \ ( \/ ) ) ( ( - - - ) ( ) ( ) -diddled by cfbd- [ ] ------------------/l\ /l\------------------- ------------------------------------------ ( ) ( __ _) Have a nice day ! :-) :-) Bye,
