Well, I know my server hasn't picked it up yet. Did you go through alt.config and propose the newsgroup? They have don't much real control, but it's where most sysops find out about new groups and add them to their servers (and they get real pissy when people start a group without asking them - they might have rmgrouped it). Also, DejaNews isn't carrying it which is going to make it *very* hard to find . . . Anyone who wants to read/post to the group should probably contact their ISPs and ask them to add it to their servers. If they can't find it, then there's probably something wong and you might want to consider going back through alt.config and starting again (there's a load of protocal that goes along with doing this). And remember, USEnet can be a nasty place :-) -- Gary Lawler * ICQ UIN: 11115268 * AIM: seclite369 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

I know that Phil definitely posted it through alt.config since he got some compliments back on how well presented the newsgroup proposal was formulated. My own news manager was also really nice about the proposal when I asked him to rush it onto the server. So sysops don't have any excuse: go and pester them to give us all another B&S forum to natter in :) Oh, and yes it is on DejaNews: the group is under alt.music.belle+sebastian due to general restrictions on group nomenclature...that might have led to you not being able to find it but its all I had for a couple of days until the group made its way to my server...bit silly really since it was made here.
And remember, USEnet can be a nasty place :-)
It already has been: we had an ardent Steps fan pestering the group about the Brits thing. Don't post any replies to his drivel: he loves it... BTW, this was my first post: not as wibbly or off topic as it should have been, I fear...don't worry, there's plenty of time for that :) Bye, Andy Andy Buckley agb31@cam.ac.uk http://i.am/andy_b +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
