I would imagine that your ISP (US West?) will carry this news group since it is in the sci hierarchy, but it might take a few days for it to appear, if it was just created today. However if their coverage is generally slow and spotty then you should complain. I am sure they have many subscribers who use newsgroups and your voice will join theirs.

Unfortunately, I do not, and I imagine that these characteristics are somewhat contradictory.
