Anyone can start an alt. right???.....RIGHT????

So why aren't there many, or any of those spammers, or graffitiers, or whatever you want to call them.....Those people who just create a stupid newsgroup and leave it. Or have i just not looked hard enough????

In part, because (a) just as anyone can create an alt.* newsgroup, pretty much anyone can send out an "rmgroup" message deleting them (this happens a lot with alt.tv.<name-of-some-show> groups where the show is still in its first season and has not been renewed for its second one yet, and (b) a number of newsgroup servers simply stopped adding new alt.* groups.
