Are there "alt" groups on nntp servers that aren't usenet newsgroups? (I
don't count "web forums" as newsgroups and you probably don't either).

Your posts will show up on BritishExpats sooner, but that doesn't mean
it won't take a long time for the rest of us to see them. When I post
via my local newserver, I see the post right away, but it would take
quite some time for it to propagate to the many newserver that contain
this newsgroup.
