Recently some sites have decided to shut off "ALT" groups in various
sections of the net.

I know this because alt.sex stopped arriving here over a month ago, and
about 1.5 weeks ago, alt.individualism and other alt groups stopped.

(Oddly enough, the cutting is one-way.  Postings from here make it out,
but nothing comes back.)

While it is up to every site to decide what groups to feed, I would ask
that sites doing this cutting please announce it in all the groups being
cut, at the least in the areas being cut.

In the end, you will reduce the traffic caused by people being confused.
You will also allow people to arrange alternate paths.
