alt.fan.cecil-adams. Cecil Adams is an acerbic and funny know-it-all, and author of The Straight Dope, a syndicated column in which he spreads his wisdom, answering amazingly varied questions from readers. The alt.fan.cecil-adams group is where Cecil (through his assistant Ed Zotti) posts his weekly column, and where would-be Cecils ponder the mysteries of the universe. Less chaotic than alt.folklore.urban, and just as entertaining.

Expecting people to make it from a Usenet newsgroup to a Web message board is an iffy proposition. In fact, this has a rather tenuous connection to the SDMB: Very few SDMB people know AFCA exists, and most AFCA people don’t care much about the SDMB.

Me, for example. I have known AFCA existed for some time, but I never went there. Just now, I made a coupla stabs at it, and now I know how little I know. :smack: I haven’t any idea how to find it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Easiest way (IMO) to get there is to go to Google Groups and enter alt.fan.cecil-adams under “Explore Groups.”
