Ooops! My error - I saw alt.fishing in my list of carried groups and
spaced it
into alt.flyfishing instead.

I just sent an inquiry to the braintrust at motzarella.org to see if
they'd
add alt.flyfishing to their list of carried groups. I'll follow up with

Thanks 'tripper.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to cancel my *cabal* service via Charter
Communications and go with Verizon.

I would be losing the ability to receive TV, but I'm not too sure that would
be such a loss.

I will try Verizon's broadband wireless service *free* for about 20 days
before I decide to accept it or discontinue their service. I reckon I should
turn off the TV for the next 20 days to see if I can make it without it? Not
sure I can do it--been addicted for over 40 some years :~^ (

Anyway, if ya have any experience with wireless use for an extended amount
of time, I'd sure like to hear your opinion.

Op --haven't had a cigarette in over two weeks, but I have picked up
dippin' to take the edge off--

Which makes Fortenberry more correct every day, which sucks.

I can no longer claim responsibility for creating alt.flyfishing.

For The Flyfishing Alternative I say....

Thanks for that man!

I was just as correct ten years ago as I was yesterday and
just as correct then as I am today, you're the one who's
taken forever to finally catch a clue.

You never could. The alt.* hierarchy has no "creators" only
enablers. Same as it ever was.

No Fred, it's perfect. Like that hole nobody knows about but that you

Since you're being a weenie - I retract my statement. When I found an
email posting tool that allowed custom headers, had the idea for
alt.flyfishing and alt.binaries.pictures.fishing and then sent the
creation message, there can be little doubt that I created those
newsgroups. In the early day most NNTP servers would automatically
create NG's as witnessed by the proliferation of thousands, if not
millions, of "silly" NG's. If you're old enough you remember them. The
only reason you had to "enable" creation is because, as a NG
administrator, you had previously disabled automatic NG creation on
header, or you installed software that had that as the default.

I created the NG's no question about it. Did I stand on the shoulders
of giants? Of course, as we all do, but that would amount to the same
thing as saying The Vatican's Home Depot created the ceiling on the
Sistene Chapel.

And just when you were starting to catch a clue. That's too bad.
You keep working on it, Tim. I predict a breakthrough moment any
decade now. LOL !!
