A control message, which Earthlink amazingly allowed me to post (Supernews required a request for permission). We'll see if it propagates.
Further tips, from <http://snetter.tripod.com/>:
1) Post interesting and on-topic comments to the group, that way you will pull in any passer-bys.
2) Get your Usenet buddies to ask their own news provider/ISP to add the group to their News feed.
3) Keep dropping hints and plugging the newgroup in groups where you think that other people may have an interest in the subject.
4) Add your group to crossposts threads, some servers work on a need for a minimum amount of posts before they will add a group, this also allows people to see that the group exists whom then may take a look out of curiosity.
