2. Legend.
This newsgroup was created by me on October 27, 1993, following my
proposal early in September of a fetish newsgroup, originally named
alt.sex.fetish.fashion, and later discussion in alt.config where I got
nothing but support for the idea (and lots of it).
Following a stray suggestion, I first created the group with the name
alt.sex.fetish.dfp (dressing for pleasure), but then I got a dozen
messages telling me that acronym group names was a Really Bad Idea. I
then issued a rmgroup message for alt.sex.fetish.dfp and a new newgroup
message for alt.sex.fetish.fashion, realizing the idea for real.
Due to propagation difficulties of the initial newgroup message, a
second newgroup message was issued two days later from a kind soul
(mathew@mantis.co.uk) in UK which finally set this newsgroup in motion.
Subsequent newgroup messages has been issued both from me and other
kind people to combat persistent propagation difficulties, and there's
still new sites picking up the group to this day!
This document was written and is maintained in HTML-format at my
private PC using the text editor QEdit 3.00C, my own database program
called LstMaint for the big supplier list, my own HTML->Text conversion
utility called HTML2TXT and a couple of my own batch-scripts to
automate the end preparation of both the HTML-versions for WWW access
and the 9 parts of plain text that is posted to the newsgroup itself
using yet another of my own programs named YPost, which is a part of
the YES package for the Yarn offline newsreader.
