Alt.Tv.Xena has taken this just a little bit further, in that it has a
Central Website. On which there are profiles of several of the posters
to a.t.x. It also points out the more commonly used Usenet conventions,
and also points to posters webpages, and also the FAQ. As a matter of
course when a lurker, de-lurks they are directed to at least visit A.t.x
Central.

You never know, there might be someone out there with the same taste as

If it isn't updated fairly often, people aren't going to read it either.
