rec.arts.poe does not appear to be a Usenet Newsgroup. Maybe it was a
private google group. I don't know, but I don't see it as a Usenet

I know I'd never heard of a newsgroup devoted to all things Poe but it
seems like it would probably have been somewhat popular in the heyday of

Something like alt.fsn.poe, as alt.fsn was all the rage back in the

That shows two groups, alt.music.poe and perl.poe, both contain no

can find.

Yes, thanks.

As for alt.mudic.poe, I seem to dimly remember a band in the early 1990s
called Poe, but that's all I can remember about them.

Great, here's the band Poe back in 1996 with their song 'Angry Johnny":
