I tried sending a control message from my eternal september account, but 
nothing happened. X)

I have two reasons that I would like to create the group.  The first is 
because I love usenet and want to understand and experience the process of 
creating a group.  The other is because I think it would free up space for 
discussion that is already on alt.magick.

I would love to get any more words of wisdom from you here on alt.config
I reads that sometimes you guys will send out the control message for 
people.
