By my newsreader, it got here because bob...@wwa.com added it., along
with a half dozen other groups to which it was never intended to go.

This newsgroup was proposed by me, at the request of Bob Allison,
alias Scarecrow.  It did come ith a newsgroups line... I include the
control message below...

For Your Nesgroups file:

alt.fan.scarecrow		Appreciation of the Net.Personality Scarecrow

This group was discussed in alt.config on or about 10/25 with no serious
opposition.

It should be fun, please give it a chance.

Thanks
 
Bill

I still don't know why Mr Allison felt the need to add all the above
groups to this post.  The previous post (from Vance Gloster) seemed to
contain only the group alt.fan.scarecrow.

Franky I dont know why the other groups were added, apparently by Bob
Allison, especially news.groups and news.admin.misc, but that is his
thing.  Deal with him on that, not me.  I dont know why half those
groups were added.

I am not deleting any groups, except for his rec.arts.ascii  group
(since it is moderated I dont want to infringe on his space) just so
the ones who saw the previous message can see my reply.

This group was inteded to be a fun thing.  Can we keep it that way?
