Nevertheless, that's how the system works. Each newsgroup
gets a
name, and it goes into an existing hierarchical namespace; choose
your name as best you can, and expect some discussion of it as you
set the group up. This process pre-dates me by a long-shot, and I
don't expect that it will die for as long as Usenet survives.

Oh good lord, I *am* getting old.

I remember Tim Skirvin as the obnoxious kid whose signature
put down was GARNA. Now look at him, he actually has a job !!




Me too. I can track my first netnews post to Nov 1985. GARNA didn't apply
when all there really was was nn!
