Proposal - Reinstate alt.usenet.reposts

History:

alt.usenet.reposts was created by a control message on 22 May 1995. It 
was never deleted via a control message according to the isc.org archives 
and it is currently a part of the isc.org newsgroup list but with an 
unfortunate description. However it is not carried by many new servers. 
The current description is "Use alt.best.of.internet instead." "internet" 
is too broad and also it has been requested multiple times to be deleted. 

This is a request for server admins to add a.u.r as an existing newsgroup 
to their lists if they are not already.

One more thing, the description below has been altered to remove a line 
referring to alt.usenet.reposts.d which has been deleted and to increase 
the number of existing newsgroups from over 10000 to over 45000.

----

For your newsgroups file:
alt.usenet.reposts      Reposts of funny, interesting, or thought 
provoking usenet articles

Description: The newsgroup alt.usenet.reposts (AUR) was created to
contain articles that people have read in other newsgroups and which other
people might find amusing or interesting: there are over 45,000 groups out
there, and even if you wanted to, you couldn't read every one.  Instead, 
you can read AUR, and read about the violent end of flame wars, newbieisms 
too clueless for words, witty responses and other articles that a wider 
audience might find interesting. 

Charter: Alt.Usenet.Reposts (AUR) is dedicated to giving people a
place to repost funny, entertaining, intelligent, thought-provoking, or
otherwise interesting articles from usenet newsgroups so that all usenet
users can have the chance to read these articles which they might 
otherwise miss.
