No, No, No.  net.psi will become 
a newsgroup on April 23, 1993 (the day the aliens land 
to clean up the garbage they were dumping on
earth 2.5 billion years ago --- hey, intergalatic bureaucracies
move slowly).  It's just that psi powers being what
they arn't, some machines are getting the group before it exists.
After all, you all have noticed how the net violates causality
(how many times do you have to wait to read the original note when
you already have 10 followups? Hmmm?).  In fact, could you check
and see what I'm posting on it?  I'd like to know what I'm up
to (other then 5'8")...
