alt.satellite.gps.tomtom has been created.

ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/control/al...e.gps.tomtom.gz in case
you wish to ask your news provider to add it. Supernews has already been
requested.

The news server I use news.individual.net/uni-berlin.de has not yet seen
either of your Control: newgroup messages or Christina's rmgroup message
which came between them alleging a lack of charter or justification.

I was not commenting on the lack of creation but on the absence of your
control message appearing in their control.newgroup pseudo group.

Nothing seen so far, but I have already had the group added at
new.panix.com and have made a request with news.individual.net.
