We haven't received a newgroup for alt.quakes; your message is
the first I've heard of it.

In any case, there's already a QUAKE-L mailing list;
mail to
	LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU (Internet) or
	LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (BITNET)
a message with no subject and whose body contains
SUB QUAKE-L Your Full Name
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ adjust accordingly

This was announced to BITNET's NEW-LIST and Internet's Info-Nets
very soon after the media reports.
