The simple (but not very useful ) answer is you need to send a

"newgroup" header and if it's an alt. group then no, voting isn't

required. Read these:


See http://www.visi.com/~barr/alt-creation-guide.html

(So You Want to Create an Alt Newsgroup)


and http://www.gweep.bc.ca/~edmonds/usenet/good-newgroup.html

(How To Write a Good Newgroup Message) for more info.


I'd also invest in some flameproof garb ;)
