Be careful. Some people on alt.config tend to exaggerate their
importance to the point of self-aggrandisement. The alt.* hierarchy is
omitted by a lot of news providers as a whole. No one on alt.config,
nor the the alt.config as a whole, can guarantee or promise anything
definite at all. They do count, but that's all.

As suggested before - and repeated very strongly - you are well advised
to spend at least a few months reading news.groups - and that would
apply for alt.config, too - to get some actual idea of what you are
thinking to do.

I'd also suggest you e-mail Brian Mailman and ask for his personal
advice. He's been active on both news.groups and alt.config for a long
time - and he used to be an rfc regular and is still a regular on at
least one rec.food newsgroup. He is also is a moderator of the
rec.food.cuisine.jewish .
