I haven't seen any rmgroups for alt.cypherpunks. Paul Bradley's newgroup for alt.cypherpunks is nowhere to be found, but Mike Duvos' newgroup made it onto the Net, and was reposted the next day by usenet@news.myriad.ml.org.

My local server (news.demon.co.uk) recognised my newgroup for alt.cypherpunks and it was immediately visible, I don`t know how far it propogated or where Mikes took effect but whatever the distribution we seem to have reached most main news servers.

alt.cypherpunks.announce alt.cypherpunks.social alt.cypherpunks.technical

and, of course...

alt.fan.paul.bradley

What else?

The latter has been rmgrouped because it was not discussed in alt.config.

No, It was rmgrouped because the cmsg had no charter, I posted this to see if the Cabal would respond.

I might suggest that deliberately tweeking the whiskers of the Cabal by gratuitous newgrouping is unlikely to bode well for alt.cypherpunks.

Quite so, I recieved mail the next day from a member of said clique telling me he "considered rmgrouping alt.cypherpunks.announce" because it was unmoderated. Needless to say he got a stern talking to for that one ;-) I guess I just have to much of a partiality for a little whisker tweeking ;-)
