Back in <10214@s.ms.uky.edu>, sean@ms.uky.edu (Sean Casey) wonders...
->
->It looks like someone is creating a whole heirarchy of "weemba" groups for
->the purpose of silly postings.  Maybe I am being bit arrogant, but it seems
->to me we already have a talk.bizarre, and that the justification for these
->new groups is certainly in doubt.

That's okay...alt doesn't need justification.  As it happens, weemba in a
newsgroup name add a whole new dimension to flaming.

->
->For example, theres alt.flame.weemba, and alt.weemba.flame.  Besides this
->ridiculous duplicity, there is already an alt.flame.

See the above comment on weemba, flames, and sheep (oh, what a giveaway).

->
->As I understood it, there was a process to go through for the creation of a
->new newsgroup, and I have a hard time believing that these groups were
->created through that process.

No need to believe that.  Official procedures apply almost everywhere...but
the alt heirarchy exists for the purpose of being outside of those rules.
The procedure involved is very different; ie, newgroup it.

->
->Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are dead wrong.  Fortunately for you, this is acceptable behavior when
discussing alt.  ;-) * .5
