Welcome to alt.culture.malta. This FAQ is regularly posted to the
alt.culture.malta,alt.answers and news.answers newsgroups, and the most
up-to-date version is also available at the alt.culture.malta web site
(http://cwebdesign.com/altmalta/).
The Maltese newsgroup alt.culture.malta was set up for the discussion of
anything related to Malta, or the Maltese islands. It may be used by web
page creators as a springboard for URL announcements of Maltese websites.
Created on the 25th October 1996, this is now another good place where to submit
a message describing your new Maltese web page. The newsgroup is
unmoderated. The alt.culture.malta web page can be found at the URL
http://cwebdesign.com/altmalta/.
To get more information on Maltese WWW sites, other resources such as
mailing lists, and more general information on Malta, you might visit
Malta Network Resources (http://www.cis.um.edu.mt/links/mnr/) which is
delegated from Virtual Tourist.

I cannot connect to alt.culture.malta. HELP!
The list of newsgroups carried by your service provider (ISP) is
generally the responsibility of the news administrator. Since this
group is relatively quite new, not all news administrators will
have added it to their lists. If the newsgroup is still
unavailable at your site, please contact your news administrator
(e.g. by sending an email message) and request that it be carried.
Regular booster messages will be sent out to help the group get the
widest possible coverage. If you have recurring problems please
send email to cw...@cwebdesign.com. Temporarily you might access it
using a web site which allows access to alt.culture.malta - this
is http://www.zippo.com.
Why has alt.culture.malta been set up? What is its purpose?
It has been set up as a new Maltese newsgroup since there is a
demand for a newsgroup where to discuss Maltese topics.
Anything related to Malta, Gozo, the Maltese Islands, Maltese
culture, tradition, history, future, whatever is Malta-related.
Even discussion of Maltese WWW sites and announcements of Maltese
Web resources physically located in Malta and abroad may take place
on the newsgroup. alt.malta is technically "defunct" and still
exists only in a few isolated pocket locations, it does not
propagate any more (if at all) since most sites have now dropped it
replacing it with alt.culture.malta.
