This sounds suspiciously like the "if this e-mail were AIDS you'd now
be infected" chain-letter or the "Good Times!" virus alert, a long-since
irrelvant e-mail chain that just will not die. I thought the
sturm-und-drang about the nazi music newsgroup came and went months ago.
A check of news.groups shows no action on a "rec.music.white-power"
listed in "Current Status of Usenet Newsgroup Proposals" by David C
Lawrence <newgroups-request@uunet.uu.net> as of Tuesday, Nov 26 1996.
Furthermore, in a thread called REC.MUSIC.WHITE-POWER on news.groups, I
did find the following.

I suggest we drop this thread *NOW*, and remind ourselves to be
suspicious of anything with four or more levels of ">" quoting in the
future.
(apologies for massive cross-post, but it seems appropriate in an
effort to squelch this cross-posted, chain-mailed monster)
