Since my LIB/newsgroups file doesn't contain an information line for
the alt.hypertext newsgroup (although it does for some other alt groups),
I can't say for sure, but perhaps it is perceived that alt.hypertext
is not necessary given the existence of comp.sys.mac.hypercard, hmm?
My apologies if that group is an inet-only group.

As we have seen, any news administrator who is part of the "alt" net can
create a new alt newsgroup pretty much at will.  Perhaps some thought
should be given to how to go about deleting an alt newsgroup.  Or, maybe
I should just issue an rmgroup on alt.hypertext, since this is an anarchy?
Of course, since this is an "alt" group, where the participants couldn't
care less about the total number of newsgroups, we don't need to worry
about a group that isn't serving a useful purpose.  :-)

(Followups going to alt.config.)
