                                  Version 1.0


To refute any newsgroup proposal in alt.config, just use this handy denial
form.  Check off the appropriate objections and fill in the necessary blanks,
and voila!  You too can deny newsgroup requests with the best of them!

------------8<--------------------CUT-HERE------------------8<-------------

[_] A mailing list will handle this just fine.
[_] There is already a mailing list for this subject.
[_] This subject can be discussed in the group ___________.
[_] Your proposal has too narrow of a subject matter to warrant a newsgroup.
[_] The name violates the [_] 14-character [_] dot-as-separator [_] capital
    letters naming convention.
[_] This is a stupid name.
[_] You misspelled some part of this group's name.
[_] This name starts a new hierarchy that is not needed.
[_] This belongs in the ______ hierarchy.
[_] This should be handled by a local area news group.
[_] This is a stupid subject.  Nobody on earth (besides you) would want to
    discuss it.
[_] The purpose of this group is unclear.  Just what would go in here anyway?
[_] The name you have suggested does not adequately describe the traffic you
    have proposed for it.  See if you can come up with some better names.
    Perhaps [_] alt.fan._____?  [_] alt.silly-group._____? [_] alt.sex._____?
[_] alt.config is not the right place to discuss this group.  Please resubmit
    this to ______________.
[_] This group would be mostly crossposting, so its existence is superfluous.
[_] The subject matter of this group is too short-lived to warrant creating a
    new newsgroup for it.
[_] Your proposal is badly [_] worded [_] written [_] spelled [_] punctuated.
    Please rewrite it and try again.
[_] This group has been proposed before and gotten no support, so give up!
    Nobody's going to support it now!
[_] Hey, _I_ like this idea, but you'll probably get objections from [_] Tim
    Pierce [_] Joel Furr [_] Dave DeLaney.
[_] Other objections:



[_] Congratulations!  You just made my kill-file.
[_] Your .signature is too [_] big [_] incomprehensible [_] ugly for words.
    Lose it.
[_] Go find the How To Create A Newsgroup FAQ and _read_ it!
[_] No.
[_] Get a life.  You've obviously got too much time on your hands.
[_] *No*!
[_] Get lost, you pathetic wanker.

Great amounts of time can be saved by all of the newsgroup deniers among our
readership if we use this form to deny those proposals much more efficiently.
