No, I don't think that's th problem; alt.binaries.aquaria seems
perfectly conformant to the naming conventions to me. The problem is
seperate -

1) Lots of people don't carry the alt.* newsgroups at all - they're
unimaginably huge.
2) alt.binaries.* makes up the vast majority of that traffic, so lots of
people just drop alt.binaries.

While I don't know the Usenet standards as well as I know some others,
these are the reasons I've most often heard cited. And as a sysadmin,
they make perfect sense.
