You've mentioned two or three times now that you "own this newsgroup", but without going into any detail.

Fair enough...

...but could you please explain -how- someone "owns" a newsgroup? A title? A deed?

Please elaborate.

Thank you.

Thanks to those that responded (including Telamon).

First, I FULLY REALIZE this is NOT a moderated news group. But thanks to those of you that pointed it out.

Finally, -Telamon- made the claim that he owns it. The purpose of my original post above, was to 'call' -him- on that statement and have him elaborate a bit.

I bought it from the creators of the news group years ago. Basically the document was a bill of sale or sales agreement, which effected the transfer of ownership. It has turned out to be a very good deal for me except for a few people I have to put up with.

Telamon, thanks for the response; however, your brief explanation generated more questions than it answered.

First, you say your "bill of sale or sales agreement" is a " *transfer* of ownership". Fair enough. That explains the 'transfer' part. But you did not address how it is actually *owned* in the first place, either by you or others. Are you saying that if I started a news group on some topic, that I would own it and then could actually sell it to someone else at a later date? How would I prove my ownership to potential buyers? Once they bought it, how would they prove to others that they are now the new owners?

Is there something like a "Registrar of Deeds" of news groups or some kind of equivalent to the Secretary of State for car titles where one can actually look up news group ownership? Is there some kind of web site where we can view a list of the owners of various newsgroups? Reference(s) please.

Thank you.
