alt.text.rss.hackernews is a unique, text-only newsgroup dedicated to
fostering insightful discussions and debates about posts from
news.ycombinator.com. Unlike existing newsgroups, we differentiate ourselves
by offering an automated system that posts content directly from
news.ycombinator.com. This exclusive feature allows members to discuss and
delve deeper into the topics introduced on the aforementioned platform.
Please note that only text-based conversations are permitted to maintain
focus and readability. We encourage respectful and constructive discourse
to ensure a vibrant and inclusive community.
The group proposed for creation is named on the Newsgroups header, never
alt.config.

You don't have a Newsgroups file line, which means it won't be created
on News sites that maintain their active files with the example active
file at ftp.isc.org.

For obvious reasons, there's no alt.text.rss hierarchy because this is
Usenet and not RSS. There's no alt.text hierarchy because Usenet is text
only unless it's in a binaries hierarchy.

Everything about this is stupid.

But you've done just enough to get an archived newgroup message. Too bad
you couldn't be bothered to do anything right.

Too late to do it better.

Thank you for pointing out my errors Adam. Will do better in the future.
You will get comments on a draft proposal if you ask in alt.config. If
you send the newgroup message but didn't seek comment, then there's no
way to head off the errors and it's archived for all time.
