How can one misspell a newsgroup that does not exist?  (Yet.)

Well, believe it or not, it DID exist.  I guess I just happened to start
reading news, when someone was trying to set it up. So I subscribed to it
and tried to post, but - as you saw - there was no moderator address and
I got it right back. That's why I decided to forward this to this group.
(I guess it wasn't THAT important, either.)

Andy.

PS: Wow, this was surely important enough to post it here. :-)
