Fine.
          I hearby delete:
                          alt.CyberPunk
          and create:
                          alt.cyberpunk

Gee, that was easy.  Who was it that said deleting news groups was
difficult?  I bet within a day there won't be an alt.CyberPunk message
left on the net.

p.s., Thanks for the help.  [My theory is that somewhere someone is
converting everything to the same case for portability reasons -- was
I close?  I got burned by this in LaTeX recently when loading a .bib
file.  You would think that people working on part of the TeX system
would understand the wish to use full ASCII.]

p.p.s., No, I don't want to hear about the systems on the net that
don't/can't handle names over 8 characters long -- really, I just
don't want to know -- let me live in blissful ignorance - PLEASEEEEE.
