What does az.config stand for or mean? Just curious as to the selected
subject matter of this group (and many others).

Hello Jim,

The purpose of this group is to be a forum for az.* Usenet users to
discuss the az.* hierarchy - from creation to dismantling of other
az.* groups.

There used to be very tried and true ways to create/destroy usenet
groups that were based on democratic methods (voting by the potential
users).  While those methods are not strictly followed now, some of
the infrastructure created to support them are still around.

So, if someone wanted to start a (for a bad example in my mind) group
called az.sports, the best route would be to come here and discuss it
first, then hold a formal vote, and if enough people were in support,
you could go to the major usenet carriers in the state (and outside)
and ask them to support the group.

Darin
