proposal: alt.usenet.slang

Organization: University of Alberta Summary: Keywords: ?1;2c Have you ever felt "lost" in a new newsgroup, despite having read the FAQ? You felt ready to dive right in and then got lost in a sea of jargon, nicknames and tech terms, right? Well, have we got the answer for you. Drop in to alt.config and support the proposed new group to solve those problems, alt.usenet.slang. The 'Net is a relatively new communications medium, linking millions of people across the planet. Usenet consists of several thousand newsgroups, each with their own separate language. Wouldn't it be great to have one place to find the latest trends and slang so you can fit right into any newsgroup, just like an expert? If you think so, drop in on alt.config and let them know.

(No discussion there yet...)

What about alt.culture.usenet.slang? There's an alt.culture.usenet now.
