Hmmm...  Being new to UseNET and the alt.prose group in particular, I have a few
questions:
	1)  How long do stories stay posted, before they are auto-deleted?
	2)  Is any approval of postings required?
	3)  Did my "Love and the Elements: An Extended Metaphor" make it to the
		group a few days back?
	4)  What is the sotry "A Pardigm of Fish" about?  I don't get it.  At
		all.  Is it me?  Or is the story a near-stream-of-deranged-
		-consciousness thing?

Any answers and info relating to the above questions would be greatly
appreciated.

This depends on your site's configuration.  Strictly speaking,
they are not "auto-deleted", they are "expired".  You can have
some influence by including an "Expires:" line in your post -
but this is only *advisory*.  Many sites set a blanket limit
(on alt groups especially) of only a few days.

Not in alt.prose, only in groups marked "Moderated"

For more info, see the news.newusers group (and FAQ).
