Don't forget:
aus.tv.x-files.newgroups         Discussion of the new groups atx needs.
aus.tv.x-files.ddeb              An adjunct to atx.!!!!!!.
aus.tv.x-files.gatb              Just in case....
aus.tv.x-files.65characters      For posts with only 65 letters/line.
aus.tv.x-files.reports           For any reports posted.
aus.tv.x-files.announce          To make it easier to keep track of new 
                                 groups
aus.tv.x-files.mulders.duck      It's only a matter of time...

Or, a simpler solution all round. Simply rename all newsgroups. So alt 
becomes aus.tv.x-files.alt, etc.
