Let all of your news neighbors know about it and have them add it to their systems. Have anyone that wants the group contact you to find out where to get it. If a site doesn't want the group, then it doesn't add it, and at worst gets a few extra articles in junk. If this group is the fantastic, "everyone will want it" group that you claim, then it should get wide propogation. My *PERSONAL* opinion is that "Net Gods" have behaved properly. They are ignoring a group that has not met the guidelines (no current traffic, poor choice of name). I believe that Bob Webber is just throwing sand into a machine he doesn't approve of, just to see if he can get the machine to break down. By the way, you won't see the group created here. -- David Schmidt UUCP: davids@iscuva.ISCS.COM ISC Systems Corporation (uunet!iscuva!davids) East 22425 Appleway Phone: +1 509 927-5479 Liberty Lake, WA 99019
