I don't think so. Some think that c.s.s has a too-high latency, and those views have been well represented here. If you don't agree, then don't carry a.s.s on your machine. Even if there is, it doesn't belong in the alt category. There are no rules in alt.* Anything belongs there that anyone wants to put there. ...unless someone can come up with a pretty good reason why I should have two newsgroups about Sun systems, I will not permit alt.sys.sun on my system... You're welcome to do that, and nobody will have grounds to complain. You're even welcome not to carry c.s.s, and nobody will have grounds to complain. What distributions you carry, and what newsgroups in those distributions, are your own choice and don't affect anyone else. ...or any systems that get a feed from me. You have no power to do that unless you buy those systems and pay their administrators' salaries. As always, they don't need to get your permission to find another feed. Rules are there for a purpose. They keep things from falling apart and letting everyone do whatever they chose. Obey them. Keep chanting this mantra: "There are no rules in alt.*."
