> I got your posting to Newsgroups: aus.cdrom

Thanks for your replies ! The group has indeed propagated far and wide,
though I have not had a single response from an Australian site yet !@#$
Mostly from US, Canada, UK and Singapore.

This may be because most news admins here don't like to automatically let
newgroups be created without their manually intervention, and they probably
haven't got around to doing that yet. Perhaps this says something about
Australia being a country of totalitarian and inefficient/lazy people :)

> What is the group about?

It is meant as an Australian equivalent of alt.cd-rom, for discussion of
the technology in general, local suppliers, local mastering facilities,
legal issues peculiarly Australian, and so on.

I should perhaps have restricted the distribution of the Newgroup command,
but lots of people outside Australia read the aus groups anyway, so...
