Is there a way to moderate this group after all these times?
There is information on the main page of alt.collecting.autographs
with the first started, and who were the first people to talk on the group. The email addresses have not worked for me when I tried to contact the first person who opened the group.

This link provides the first post of alt.collecting.autographs back in
1993. Started by someone named SpamceMan. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c.../month/1993-03 Chip On Mar 4, 1:53 pm, Sue H wrote: I think that's the problem.

It just baffles me. The Alt groups have to originate from somewhere on some server. Wouldn't that/those person/people be the ones to change the settings?

Yeah; it's bizarre; you know like computers that take over the world.
They get a life of their own. Someone starts something then it runs rampant and renegade. I think that's what's happened here. Truth be told the "powers that be" should be the people who invented the whole thing. If this is truly public and has NOBODY or noone ever policing it we could see some truly bizarre stuff happening (worse than we can imagine); psychopaths running amuck without recourse. Kind of scary. On Tue, 4 Mar 2008 18:17:55 -0600, "Gummby3" wrote: It just baffles me. The Alt groups have to originate from somewhere on some server.

That looks like THIS group. Who started newsgroups as a whole? Who
invented it and posted the very first newsgroup? If we knew, we could find out who they were, their intent, if they have any legal claim to what they've become etc. On Tue, 4 Mar 2008 15:58:06 -0800 (PST), chip1057 wrote: This link provides the first post of alt.collecting.autographs back in 1993.

The original starter of this group is Oliver Scholtz who is now Senior
Program Manager at Microsoft Corporation (WOW). I don't think he's small enough to come back here and settle this but I am game to contact him!

It's worth a shot. Odds are, he's forgotten all about this.

This group was created as a free speech public forum, and any form of
moderation would be considered censorship. I would suggest that alt.collecting.autographs.moderated be created MrB -- ANNOYING USENET SINCE 1996 "Sue H" wrote in message ...
