alt.tv.futurama on AOL

If major ISPs are putting alt.tv.futurama on their newsfeed what will it take for aol to do the same?

AOL is exceptionally slow when it comes to adding newsgroups. For the two groups that I have created, it took over a month; and that was with well-formed proposals, newgroup messages, no rmgroups, boosters, and e-mail to [email].

It would probably take AOL becoming a real ISP. Yea, like that's going to happen.

With the exception of Matt, Jordan, ChaiTheDog, MagmaGirl, and CoryanderX, it's kinda fun having no AOLers in alt.tv.futurama. (WorldNet added it yesterday, BTW). /---------------------------------------\

I have to disagree and agree. Disagree: The more, the merrier. Agree: No Alan Paz (that lousy annoying SOB)! Agree: No newbies of the internet writing a post saying "please unsubscribe." <G>

Yep. But I got no appreciation for it. <G> I wrote the message on AT&T suggestion NG and they added it a day after my request. And I get no appreciation...<G>

Since only a moron who was into Usenet would choose AOL as their ISP (just the *thought* sends shivers up my spine), that means most of their customers likely aren't into Usenet, or too dumb too care about details.

...And if they REALLY thought about it, they can always get in here via Deja news--web based news reader.

I had ONE aol-er ask me about using outlook express to read news. I guess he's using half his brain. The other half would tell him to switch altgether!

Well, I use Outlook Express to read news, simply because it is convenient. I am a C programmer, and I have the RFC's on the news protocol, so I could write my own news reader (I started to, but then thought "Why? - I have better things to do with my time, like spend it with my family).

That is a very odd thing for a programmer to say. Maybe you accidentally transposed the clauses...

"I could spend time with my family, but I have better things to do, like write my own news reader."

Ah yes, that's a lot more readable.

Well, if I was a typical programmer, maybe. However, I am anything but typical. I was voted "Most Unique" of Judson High School Class of '83. If you're familiar with the MBTI personality profile, I am an ENFP. The 'F' stands for 'Feeling', whereas most programmers are a 'T' for 'Thinking'.

Who cares? I wanna know what it'll take to keep them from adding it.

The question is; what will it take for WebTV to keep it _off_ theirs?

Oh well. I know a couple newsgroups where the regulars would pay WebTV to drop them from the service.
