Has anyone considered trying the old tried and true method of starting the idea in alt.config and maybe trying out these new groups as alt.* groups first, then move to make them rec.* groups? Seems reasonable to me.

Aw hell, I shouldv'e figured if there was a less involved way that was worth a dang you and the others wouldv'e used it instead. Oh well, this is why I'm glad I posted this first instead of trying to start something in alt.config and coming here going "hey gang, new groups in alt." I kinda thought I'd be a much happier camper if I checked the idea here first. Now I just hope someone else doesn't see my first post and go "cool, I can do that" :-) Ron R II *********************************************** ** Keep the shiny side up & the hammer down ** *** Ron "Cougar" Riekens II *** **** Owner - Driver **** **** Medallion Motorsports/*** Photography **** *** NASS ARCA Series #96 Pontiac *** ***********************************************

shooting through ***space: Consider, though, that alt.* groups aren't propagated worldwide. Most news admins are hesitant to carry them because of the nature of alt.* groups (sleaze, illegal binaries, etc.). I still, for example, can't get the supposed alt.simulators.binaries group. -- IWCCCARS Project Coordinator [link lost in import] Hawaii: IWCCCARS
