- Dear xxxxxx:
-
- Your newgroup for alt.yyyy.zzzz will not be honored here, because it was
- issued without prior recent discussion in alt.config. This stance is
- necessary to eliminate the mal-formed newsgroups and other chaos that
- has been a part of alt-net, and a number of other news-admins have taken
- the same position.
-
- This doesn't reflect on the merit, or lack of merit, of the newsgroup
- you attempted to create, but simply that you haven't followed accepted
- procedure.
-
- It's possible that I've missed the discussion. If you can point out the
- article(s) that I missed, or you propose it and it receives favorable
- treatment in alt.config, then I will carry it here.
-
- [I'm not planning to mail this next paragraph to anyone, but it states my
- attitude - DMS]
-
- If you give me sh*t in e-mail because I have rejected your newgroup, I
- will add it, but in such manner that we won't carry the postings, nor
- feed it to downstream sites.
