|You may not realize it but some sites are not able to receive any of the
|newsgroups under the prefix "ALT."  Ours is one such site.

If you had read the rest of my posting, you would have seen that I addressed
that concern by offering to forward alt.fusion via email to sites that do
not get it.  I am already sending it to two addresses at prism.gatech.edu.

|I suggest an alternative name:  sci.physics.fusion

This may be reasonable *if* the topic continues to generate volume; however,
if interest dies off, there is no point to creating a mainstream newsgroup
for the topic.

|No mistaking the topic there!

The only mistake that I have seen is one person who thought that the topic
was fusion jazz.
