This is one reason to follow the meta-discussions that take place
in news.groups:  there was some dispute about the desired effect
of the vote I held.  While the Call For Votes said unambiguously
that comp.unix.internals was to be removed, the meta-voters in
news.groups generally wanted to keep the group.

I did send out newgroup/rmgroup messages, but the site that was my
newsfeed was experiencing system problems and I guess the control
articles died in the wind.

Some sites rewrite aliased group names.  uunet and B News 2.11 have
been mentioned as doing this.  Since comp.unix.wizards was aliased
to comp.unix.internals, some articles in comp.unix.internals might
have been originally posted to comp.unix.wizards.  For instance, I
cross-posted this article to both groups (followups to news.groups).
