"WE" didn't produce fuck-all. That's an alt group, the sewer of Usenet. Always has been, since the Great Renaming more than 20 years ago.

Alt used to be fun.

A Usenet ALT group? Seriously? You might as well search for meaning in the drool stains on your pillow.

It's not even a _moderated_ ALT group.

C'mon.

I've met the dude who originated the alt. hierarchy of Usenet, John Gilmore.

Fnarf, what is wrong with you these days? You've become nothing but piss and vinegar.
