The usual method would be to propose a new group "alt.fan.petecasso" in the 
alt.hierarchy. 

Bye,

Oh oh oh, I was just going to suggest that! Except that to avoid
cluttering up the alt.* hierarchy, the new group should go in the
existing alt.bonehead.* hierarchy -- perhaps
alt.bonehead.pete-casso.pseudo-ascii?

Here's a preliminary FAQ:

alt.bonehead.pete-casso.pseudo-ascii FAQ
========================================

1.  What is a.b.p-c.p-a for?
----------------------------

Posting and diddling of `stein' cartoons.

2.  Who is allowed to post to a.b.p-c.p-a? 
------------------------------------------

PeteCasso and anyone who agrees with him.

3.  Am I allowed to post in HTML to a.b.p-c.p-a?
------------------------------------------------

*Allowed* to? It's *compulsory*!

4.  What else should I know before posting to a.b.p-c.p-a?
----------------------------------------------------------

*   If you mention PeteCasso's name, you are guaranteed a reply.
*   All messages must contain the word or suffix `stein'.

5.  What are yinsteins and yangsteins?
--------------------------------------

Yinsteins are those people who like the 'steins, and yangsteins are
those people who don't. Or maybe it's the other way around, I forget. It
doesn't matter, anyway, since if you're a yangstein (or is it a
yinstein?) you aren't allowed to post here anyway.

6.  Why can't I see any messages in a.b.p-c.p-a?
------------------------------------------------

Because everybody is taking so long fiddling with the HTML formatting of
their messages that they never actually get around to posting them.

That would serve my pathologically enlarged ego very well! LOL!

Welcome to the Yinsteins, those who don't love the steins!

Just a thought.  Y don't we ask for a new newsgroup. Tentatively titled
"alt.petecasso.ascii-art''.   This way Pete can use it to talk to
himself.  I will never understand what brides, grooms, steins, and
devils and birds have to do with tails?  I'm I alone in this world?
Where is the humor?
