alt.autos.mazda
Guys, would you mind if I file an RFD to create alt.autos.mazda
so that the folks like myself don't spam your newsgroup with general mazda questions? Do you think it's be better to file for rec.autos.makers.mazda ? If I file RFD I'd need you to vote. Thank you. |

All the posts in the groups last days seem to be spam.... I think there isn't enough interest for such a group to function but it's worth a try if the OP wants to do so. |

However, some news servers are buggy and allow things to be posted there. A general newsgroup in the rec hierarchy would conventionally be called rec.autos.makers.mazda.misc, but no one went through the RFD RFV etc procedure to start one. I understand the alt hierarchy process is much easier. Sure, I will vote for it. Just let us know. Leon > but Google shows it exists only as an archive now. Last post >seems to be 2004.

They are still working on the salvage. A ship that big with over 80 tons of cargo, that must be something nasty to deal with. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/03/c...-turns-deadly/ http://www.uscgalaska.com/go/doc/780/127621/ Pat |

Huh? Since when is there a vote to create an alt group? The procedure is to post a message on alt.config explaining your intent. If, after a bit of discussion, you still want to create a group, you send out a newgroup control message. Admins all over the planet then decide on an individual basis whether or not to carry your new alt.whatever group. Quoting from http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/good-newgroup.html You also SHOULD NOT refer to the newsgroup as having passed a vote for its creation. There are no votes in alt, so any such implication is likely to provoke an rmgroup response. And from http://www.faqs.org/faqs/alt-creation-guide/ There are no Guidelines or Rules for creating alt groups. There is no one "in charge" of the alt hierarchy. The key to creating a successful alt newsgroup depends only on convincing the thousands of news administrators across the globe to carry your newsgroup. Here are some tips that will help you achieve this. [...] Votes? Did someone say vote? Let me repeat. There are no votes in alt. Period. If you want to gather an "opinion poll" for your own purposes to see how popular the group will be, great. Do not post votes to alt.config. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Why would you want to recreate it under alt also? Would having an alt be somehow better than using the group that already exists? -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
