Below is a edited copy of a control message (issued on 20-Mar-95)
which starts a new newsgroup called "aus.tv.x-files"

If aus.tv.x-files doesn't appear on your system within a few days,
contact your newsadmin (or sysadmin) and demand/harrass/suckup/etc.
until it appears.  If your newsadmin is particularly nasty/tyrannical,
get a few people on your system (the more the better) to demand the 
newsgroup.

aus.tv.x-files is an unmoderated newsgroup which was proposed via a RFD
(posted on 13 Mar 1995 in aus.general, aus.net.news, aus.sf, aus.tv)
following guidelines set out in:  "FAQ: creating a newsgroup in the
aus.* hierarchy", as written by revdoc@wumpus.cc.uow.edu.au.  It was
supported by a majority of responses (via news and e-mail).


For your newsgroups file:
aus.tv.x-files		discussion of "X-Files" and related subjects.


The charter:

This unmoderated newsgroup will be used for the discussion of the TV
show named "X-Files" (currently shown on Channel 10, Wednesdays 8:30 pm)
and related topics, such as the X-Files books.  It can also be used to
discuss any scientific/paranormal/politcal/military premises the show
has used in any episode to point out faults/inconsistencies or praise
the writers.

The newsgroup is necessary since a lot of X-Files related posts appear
on several groups:  aus.sf, aus.tv, and to a small extent on
aus.sf.star-trek.  The traffic is large enough to warrant a seperate
group.  It is also necessary since similar groups (alt.tv.x-files,
rec.arts.tv, rec.arts.sf.tv) discuss episodes screened in the USA, which
are ahead of Australian TV by approximately 3.5 months.

Crossposting between aus.tv.x-files, aus.sf and aus.tv is discouraged.
