Two messages dealing with creation or removal of newsgroups are the
newgroup and rmgroup message. Newsgroups below the
``usual'' hierarchies may be created only after a discussion and voting
has been held among Usenet readers. The rules applying to the alt
hierarchy allow for something close to anarchy. For more information,
see the regular postings in news.announce.newusers and
news.announce.newgroups. Never send a newgroup or
rmgroup message yourself unless you definitely know that you
are allowed to.
