You're not alone -- we got a metric tonne of these in the space of  
about 15 minutes.  I'm not entirely sure what to make of them since  
they look like what I think I'd see for a new hierarchy, except I  
don't think us.* is new.  Also, the subjects do appear, universally,  
to be spam and there's no information for the newsgroupfile like in a  
"real" creation request.  I'm still quite the neophyte when it comes  
to managing a Usenet server and would love to hear what some of the  
more experienced admins think about these, and if they were seeing  
them too.

Thanks,
Jeff
