Default Maracyn (erythromycin) and... the usenet

Likewise here. So long as the group
(alt.binaries.somethingorotherbutnotaquaria) is on the ISC list, my ISP will
carry it - as long as it's not overwhelmingly heavy on traffic, or pointless
reposts. It has various alt.binaries.somethign groups, but not the aquaria
one. I looked into it a bit more, and it seems that a message has to be
sent, proposing formation of a group, then allowing a week for 'discussion'
of it, then another message which might actually form the group. Then, the
group propagates around the net, but only if the formation message was
actually formatted and contains the right information. Groups can be
deleted in a similar fashion, it seems. I've emailed an address of someone
who is supposed to maintain the FAQ for the ISC stuff, but as yet haven't
heard back. And to be honest, from what I've heard, a plea of 'this has
happened, please give me a clue what to do next' is frowned on by the usenet
gods/godesses. I'll wait a few days but I have to say I'm not sure I'm
prepared to attempt propagating this group around as a 'new' one, to see if
that does the trick. No way do I want hordes of flames from people that DO
know what they're doing when they see my incompetant attempts.

All I know is that I can subscribe to hundreds and hundreds of binaries
groups which depict sexual preferences, positions, deviations and
orientations I had never even imagined, and that's in addition to the
hundreds and hundreds which I spent my youth obsessed with. But no

fishies.
