That's a fact Bill. There are actually rules published for
the administration of usenet and some ISP's follow them. The
initiation of a new group requires the publication of a new
group post including a description, charter and probable
traffic figures. The newgroup post for ABF has been lost in the
computer jungle and cannot be found.
