So... here we are.

If you're reading this, you've officially witnessed the rebirth of
rb.alt.fan.karl-malden.nose.

The original alt.fan.karl-malden.nose began life as one of Usenet's
many wonderfully ridiculous joke groups. It later became unexpectedly
famous after playing a central role in the Meow Wars, one of the
Internet's earliest large-scale trolling events.

This time around, let's try something different.

Post your favorite Karl Malden roles. Talk about that legendary nose.
Share stories about the old days of Usenet. Or just appreciate the fact
that somewhere, somehow, a newsgroup dedicated to Karl Malden's nose is
alive again.

Some traditions are too weird to let disappear.
