Alt is not a sub-net.  Alt is a full blown network just like USENET.  USENET
consists of those machines which exchange news.announce, and any other
collection of groups from comp, misc, news, rec, sci, soc and talk.  The
ALT net consists of machines which exchange some collection of alt groups.

There are other networks, such as unix-pc, bionet, pubnet, biz and others
which I'm too stupid to know about.
