   An old question. It started out as alt.usage.english, but then someone   
   thought that it was illogical to have "usage" as an overgroup, so   
   alt.english,usage was opened. It didn't succeed like the person had   
   hoped, so now we're stuck with that superfluous group until someone   
   kills it - the chance of which is indeed poor today.
