As of a few minutes ago the entire alt hierarchy has been deleted from the AT&T/BS servers. Hasta Lavista alt. I'm sure there will be lots of gnashing of teeth by tonight when those who used those groups and work out of the home get home.
Really? I thought I read it was the alt.binaries hierarchy.

Well now you may be right. All my 'alt' groups were binary groups and I didn't bother to check to see if any non-binary groups were gone. I just ass*u*me*d, which I shouldn't have done.

At the rate it's going with bringing up all the headers Giganews still has on their servers, I'll be downloading headers for the next 24 hours straight.
