   You three wise men, Adam, Peter and Brian, need to let this go. The   
   control message for alt.bbs.enthral was sent and received by all   
   usenet servers. All that remains now is for the group to be added to   
   servers and become active. The charter shall be revised as needed   
   by the active subscribers to that newsgroup. So just leave them the   
   fuck alone and move on to something else.
