Well, we would, except as far as I can tell, nobody runs it. If they
did, we would have been spared the recent slugfest by a poetaster and
a couple of denigrators, mainly concerning correct spelling rather
than pointing out that spelling wasn't the problem.
Actually Google handles this, not Usenet. Click on "subscribe to this
group," and you'll get a screen that gives you the option of getting e-
mails whenever anyone posts. That's probably a good idea, given the
recent sparseness of postings, but if someone actually comes up with a
hot topic (and it happens occasionally), you may find yourself with
more e-mails than you know what to do with. Fortunately, they're
hardly ever as rancorous as the recent outburst, which was bleed-
through from another group, I think maybe
rec.poesy.terriblyserious.awful.
