usenet hierarchy oesterreich.*

WTF?

oesterreich.* is a usenet hierarchy originating in an idea I had on jan 3, 2000, and which I (after discussing it with some friends) created afterwards.

motto: oesterreich.* ist frei

("austria is free", the historical words an austrian politician spoke when the contract which made austria independent after WWII was signed)
contents: ...should be related to austria, in some way.
organization: none. organization suppresses people's freedom and creates CABALs and net.cops.
this is a bad thing[tm].
goals: just see what will happen.

technical...

where can I get it?

at the moment (as of Sun Sep 22 18:39:43 2002):

news.tahina.priv.at, mail requests for reader access to oesterreich-request@tahina.priv.at
news.dagegen.org, requests to oesterreich-request@dagegen.org

configuration

as you please. my setup is:

newgroup-controls are accepted from anybody, rmgroups not at all.
crossposts to other hierarchies aren't fed to my peers.
binaries are not accepted, neither is ECP/EMP (cleanfeed).

checkgroups?

of course. here. automatically generated each hour from my news server.

tools?
