| Re: <nettime> Please Circulate Widely - A Proposed NAZI Usenet Group (fwd) |
I monitor the Usenet group which administers the new group process and I have not seen anything this year that indicates that the process has begun again for this group. This white-power music group has been attempted in the past, last year I believe, but it does not appear to be happening at this time. I suspect that this notice is turning into a Craig Shergold virus which keeps circulating long after the danger is over. laurie On Tue, 17 Jun 1997, Peter Tomaz Dobrila wrote: > >>> Subject: Nazi Usenet Group (fwd) > >>> Date: Sunday, May 25, 1997 6:40PM > >>> > >>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > >>> > >>> Allan Sloan Newsweek > >>> Wall Street Editor [email protected] > >>> > >>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > >>> > >>> Subject: Nazi Usenet Group > >>> > >>> Date: May,8 1997 > >>> > >>> We have understood that a few Neo-Nazi groups are trying to create > >>> (again) a usenet group where they want to keep in contact with each > >>> other regarding their activities.
