It does exist.  They are up to article 237 now.  Not a lot of activity 
but at least a readership.

I am in a newsgroup called   ( alt.machines.cnc) .

This group is not a very active group, but a great one to belong
to if you are interested in CNC.  My understanding of the issue
of why some people can get one newsgroup, but not another, has
to do with the sheer numbers of newsgroups in general. There are
approxiately 16,000 newsgroups today.  At our work-place, we 
download only about 4,000 of the 16,000 newsgroups each night. I
am told that this takes hours of server time and all the newsgroups
can not be available for this reason.  I can get the CNC newsgroup 
through AOL, but not at my work-place.
