<html><div>----- Snip ------</div> <br> <div>If you want a group in the big eight hierarchy, like comp, you'll have</div> <div>to go thru a long and formal procedure, and still might not get the</div> <div>group in the end.</div> <br> <div>If you want one in the alt hierarchy, it's easier. Two choices here:</div> <br> <div>You've got a good proposal, open it up for discussion, and call for votes. </div> <div>Hopefully, David Lawrence will post a newgroup message and the group </div> <div>will begin appearing on servers. This is the formal procedure, and if followed, </div> <div>will have an excellent chance of having your group propagated far and </div> <div>wide. Whether a server carries it or not, is still up to the individual newsmaster, </div> <div>but having a reputable person like David behind you will help a lot.</div> <br> <div>The other choice is to just issue the newgroup message yourself and</div> <div>hope for the best. Some servers will honor them without questions,</div> <div>others won't without someone like David doing the newgroup message.</div> <div>You need to be able to send Control and Approved headers for this to work. </div> <div>I don't know of any anonymous remailers or mail2news gateways that </div> <div>will post these headers anymore.</div> <br> <div>Another way of getting a new group is to crosspost to it, even though</div> <div>it doesn't exist. Some servers will create a newsgroup if they get a</div> <div>certain amount of traffic that is aimed at it. So, sometimes a few</div> <div>messages per day for a few days sent to:</div> <br> <div>Newsgroups: alt.test, alt.comp.sys.wearable</div> <br> <div>Though new to the wearable community -as in just a few days ;) - I am very interested. I hope this group will</div> fly on the USENET. Any help I can offer don't hesitate to ask. <BR> <font size=6 color="#FF0000">s.<br> </font><font size=2 color="#000000">X-Spam-Bait:,
