- Except in extra-ordinary circumstances (alt.oobe ring any bells?) you
- don't have voting to create alt. groups. Instead you say "Hello, hello?
- Any news administrators out there want to create a group for me?"
-
- Then you say "Here is the proposed charter for alt.org.pugwash: blah blah
- blah. Here is a one-line description of the group for your files." The
- charter may not control what people say there, but if well-worded, it may
- convinced some news admins to carry the group.
