The three new groups

alt.comp.software.firefox
alt.comp.software.thunderbird
alt.comp.software.seamonkey

have been created, no doubt population around the various usenet servers 
will be slow.  At the moment they only exist on news.aioe.org and one or 
two other servers, I've requested them on a few servers that I use, but 
will request them on more servers over the next few days.  If they don't 
show up on servers that you use, feel free to request them there.

Treat the new groups as substitutes for

mozilla.support.firefox
mozilla.support.thunderbird
mozilla.support.seamonkey

Clearly the new groups are not affiliated with Mozilla in any way, and 
will provide user-to-user support, hoping to see familiar faces there, 
play nice ...
