Historically, not all service providers have carried all groups. I've
encountered providers that carried all or nearly all "rec" groups but no "alt"
groups.

To users who get and prefer alt.photography the SI is present. To those
who don't get .alt it's a moot point.

IAC this splinter is about all 2 of the people who bitch about the SI
without taking advantage of a simple subject filter. They need an
excuse to whine apparently.

I get all four of the groups in question, and I am fortunate to have a
Usenet client which will, after I have read a message in one group,
mark the same message as "read" in the other three groups.

So, if I am reading messages in a particular group, and then check the
next group, I only have to read those messages marked "Unread".
Neat.
