I have conflicting information as to the existence of a newsgroup
called "alt.folklore.computers." We don't get it at our site and
a long list of all newsgroups I obtained by e-mail from Usenet
System Administration dated 1 Dec 1989 doesn't show it. Yet a
data set I obtained showing message traffic during December shows
alt.folklore.computers to be one of the most popular newsgroups.
Does this group exist, and if so, what kind of articles does it
contain?
