A short lesson in news groups.

Every system manager gets to decide which group he/she will provide on their 
machine. If I can get a group from my news provider, it has no effect on you 
getting the group from your provider.

In general, most commercial Internet providers subscribe to all groups, but 
how soon they pick them up, how long they keep them around, is totally a local 
decision.

If you dont get a group after a reasonable wait- maybe a week or so- then 
contact the support group at your ISP and ask if they are getting it.

Ive done a few News Server installs in my real life.

Please remember that 'alt' groups are not carried
by every internet serviec provider. My provider is

carrying alt.machines.cnc but yours might not.
This morning there was one posting.
E-mail your Internet service provider and ask them
to carry it.
