Shame on you !  And after you having been one of the consortium that
promoted and pursued this "animals.monster.*.misc" Re-org of the
Century. :-(

This thread developed from someone being worried about the future
of the Alt newsgroup, "alt.chinchillas"  when the
rec.pets.rodents.chinchillas ( Yuk, what a bloated name ) failed.

The ensuing arguments migrated towards the currently fashionable
discussion of why and how Usenet newsgroups RFDs/CFVs
affect/do not affect similar alt.groups when the Usenet group
creations are successful.

( See the "alt.drugs" threads for the daddy-of-them-all in this
  Usenet/Altnet newgroup/rmgroup flamefest ).

I tried retitling the thread to the subject "rmgroups" but it seems
that the title " RESULT: rec.pets.rodents.chinchillas fails 58:26? "
is a far more interesting and attractive subject title than
"rmgroups" which isn't a proper English word anyway - just jargon.

And...now that we are in nitpicking mode...this lop-sided Ascii
Parrot in your Sig has offended my artistic sensibilites long enough
in your postings, therefore I have done a more symmetrical revision
of your parrot. If you wish to continue with your original version
then you should propose the creation of the following newsgroup:

    "rec.animals.pets.birds.distorted.ascii.parrots"    Hah !!!
