By my newsreader, it got here because boba@wwa.com added it., along with a half dozen other groups to which it was never intended to go. >> I know, it's that bloody Bill Pfeiffer's fault. He didn't put a >>tagline on the group. Let's all send bogus posts to his newsgroup. :^) This newsgroup was proposed by me, at the request of Bob Allison, alias Scarecrow. It did come ith a newsgroups line... I include the control message below... ------------------------------ Begin included file -------------------- Control: newgroup alt.fan.scarecrow Newsgroups: alt.fan.scarecrow,control From: wdp@gagme.wwa.com (WDP) Subject: cmsg newsgroup alt.fan.scarecrow Reply-To: wdp@gagme.wwa.com Organization: Scarecrow Fan Club For Your Nesgroups file: alt.fan.scarecrow Appreciation of the Net.Personality Scarecrow This group was discussed in alt.config on or about 10/25 with no serious opposition. It should be fun, please give it a chance. Thanks Bill -------------------------------------- END OF FILE ------------------ I still don't know why Mr Allison felt the need to add all the above groups to this post. The previous post (from Vance Gloster) seemed to contain only the group alt.fan.scarecrow. Franky I dont know why the other groups were added, apparently by Bob Allison, especially news.groups and news.admin.misc, but that is his thing. Deal with him on that, not me. I dont know why half those groups were added. I am not deleting any groups, except for his rec.arts.ascii group (since it is moderated I dont want to infringe on his space) just so the ones who saw the previous message can see my reply. This group was inteded to be a fun thing. Can we keep it that way? Bill Pfeiffer
