Date: 9 Aug 1996 22:11:11 -0400 From: newgroups-request@uunet.uu.net (David C Lawrence) Newsgroups: news.lists,news.groups,news.announce.newgroups,news.answers Subject: Alternative Newsgroup Hierarchies (Part 2) Archive-name: alt-hierarchies/part2 alt --- "alt" is a collection of newsgroups that is being distributed by a collection of sites that choose to carry the groups. Many Usenet sites do not receive these groups. Here is a recent list of many active "alt" newsgroups. It represents a view of the altnet as seen by UUNET. It does not include groups which have names that are not valid by the standard defined in RFC 1036bis (available in ftp://zoo.toronto.edu/pub/news.txt.Z). Another view can be found in a set of articles posted periodically by Bruce Becker as to alt.config, alt.newgroup, alt.answers, news.admin.misc, and news.groups, called ``Another listing of newsgroups in the "alt" hierarchy.'' That list seems to include every alt group he has ever seen, many of which have never had a correct and widely distributed creation message or do not get any continuing article traffic. You can join the "alt subnet" by finding a site in your area that carries the groups. Either send mail to the administrators of the sites you connect to, or post something to a local "general" or "wanted" newsgroup for your area. If no sites nearby are getting them, you can get them from uunet or psi. Submissions to the moderated alt groups should be made to the addresses listed in the companion posting of moderator addresses. If it does not include an address for one of these groups, it is probably because the person who established the group as moderated did not make sure that the addresses were properly installed. Submission addresses for moderated groups should be sent to moderators-request@uunet.uu.net. alt.0d Yet another attempt to collect stupid people up front. alt.1d One-dimensional imaging, & the thinking behind it. alt.2d People using this group have no depth. alt.3d Use alt.3d.misc instead. alt.3d.misc Three-dimensional imaging. alt.3d.sirds Especially for Single Image Random Dot Stereograms. alt.3d.studio For 3D Studio users. alt.aac The Armageddon Ark Clan. alt.aapg.announce The American Association of Petroleum Geologists. alt.aapg.general The American Association of Petroleum Geologists. alt.aber No description. alt.abortion.inequity Paternal obligations of failing to abort unwanted child. alt.abuse.offender.recovery Helping abuse-offenders to recover & heal. alt.abuse.recovery Helping victims of abuse to recover. alt.abuse.transcendence Non-standard ways to deal with all forms of abuse. alt.acme.exploding.newsgroup Beep beep. alt.acting I'm just not myself today. alt.activism Activities for activists. alt.activism.children Open discussion of political issues about children. alt.activism.d A place to discuss issues in alt.activism. alt.activism.death-penalty For people opposed to capital punishment. alt.activism.youth-rights Youth rights/anti-age restriction activists. alt.actor.dustin-hoffman Renegade fans start another unneeded hierarchy. alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb The prototypical alt group. alt.adoption For those involved with or contemplating adoption. alt.adoption.adoptive.parenting Special issues with parenting adopted children. alt.adoption.agency Licensed non-profit adoption agency information. alt.adoption.issues Debate over controversies and attacks on adoption. alt.aeffle.und.pferdle German TV cartoon characters das Aeffle und das Pferdle. alt.agriculture.fruit Fruit production. alt.agriculture.misc Use sci.agriculture instead. alt.airline.schedules Current schedules of various airlines. alt.alcohol Don't drink and drive on the Info...no, I can't say it. alt.aldus.freehand The other hand is busy. alt.aldus.misc Aldus products not covered in another alt.aldus group. alt.aldus.pagemaker Don't use expensive user support, come here instead. alt.algebra.help Cheating on Homework 101. alt.alien.research Extraterrestial body snatching for fun and profit. alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk Something about simoN. alt.alien.visitors Space Aliens on Earth!
