Oh oh oh, I was just going to suggest that! Except that to avoid
cluttering up the alt.* hierarchy, the new group should go in the
existing alt.bonehead.* hierarchy -- perhaps
alt.bonehead.pete-casso.pseudo-ascii?

Here's a preliminary FAQ:

alt.bonehead.pete-casso.pseudo-ascii FAQ
========================================

1.  What is a.b.p-c.p-a for?
----------------------------

Posting and diddling of `stein' cartoons.

2.  Who is allowed to post to a.b.p-c.p-a? 
------------------------------------------

PeteCasso and anyone who agrees with him.

3.  Am I allowed to post in HTML to a.b.p-c.p-a?
------------------------------------------------

*Allowed* to? It's *compulsory*!

4.  What else should I know before posting to a.b.p-c.p-a?
----------------------------------------------------------

*   If you mention PeteCasso's name, you are guaranteed a reply.
*   All messages must contain the word or suffix `stein'.

5.  What are yinsteins and yangsteins?
--------------------------------------

Yinsteins are those people who like the 'steins, and yangsteins are
those people who don't. Or maybe it's the other way around, I forget. It
doesn't matter, anyway, since if you're a yangstein (or is it a
yinstein?) you aren't allowed to post here anyway.

6.  Why can't I see any messages in a.b.p-c.p-a?
------------------------------------------------

Because everybody is taking so long fiddling with the HTML formatting of
their messages that they never actually get around to posting them.
