A whole herd of bogus newsgroups came through my 'reader
tonight, apparently in reaction to the Bill-Palmer flamewar
raging across the news.net-abuse.* heirarchy.

Yeah, big deal, groups like "alt.startrek.borg" and 
"alt.fan.billy-joe" right?

But one of the bogus groups listed is "alt.buddha.short.fat.guy,"
a group that I've been reading and participating in for
years, which is very active, and which is, believe it or
not, an accepted part of the the online Buddhist community.
(yes, despite its goofy name...)  =;)

Hey, sysadmin guys-and-gals -- what's up with this, and
how do we get it back?

Bill.
