After much knashing of teeth, exploring the depths of despair, discovering the pitfalls and
jumping through the hula-hoops of Usenet
newsgroup creations (finally recovering
through the teamwork of crystallographers and other interested parties world-wide),
sci.techniques.xtallography was
created on the 14th October 1993, after a massive majority of positive
votes via email.
Naming the newsgroup (mainly due to technical difficulties due to discovering
the unwritten laws© of Usenet)
turned out to be a non-trivial event :-
- sci.diffraction
- sci.crystallography
- sci.crystallograph
- sci.xtallography
- sci.materials.xtallography
- sci.physics.xtallography
- sci.engr.xtallography
- sci.sex.xtallography
- sci.chem.xtallography
- sci.sci.xtallography
- sci.misc.xtallography
- sci.xtallography
- sci.general.xtallography
before finally becoming :-
